"Dvenadt͡satʹ prikosnoveniĭ k gorizontu" - ėto dvenadt͡satʹ ostroumnykh, uvlekatelʹnykh i blesti͡ashche napisannykh istoriĭ iz zhizni Rossii, proizoshedshikh gde-to mezhdu Moskvoĭ i Rostovom-na-Donu. Ėto vzroslye razmyshlenii͡a o zhizni i pylkiĭ i͡unosheskiĭ maksimalizm, vera v idealy i stremlenie izmenitʹ mir k luchshemu, neozhidannye si͡uzhety i tonkie nabli͡udenii͡a.Mikhail Mirov - trinadt͡satiletniĭ shkolʹnik, zhivushchiĭ v Moskve, - reshaet poekhatʹ avtostopom k svoeĭ devushke Mashe v Rostov-na-Donu, i za te chetyre dni͡a, chto dlitsi͡a ėto puteshestvie, on prokhodit kolossalʹnyĭ putʹ vzroslenii͡a. Spokoĭno i vzveshenno on opisyvaet zhiznʹ, kak ona estʹ, "bez prikras", so vsemi pli͡usami i minusami. Nesmotri͡a na vse trudnosti, on ni na minutu ne opuskaet ruk, vedʹ vpered ego gonit samoe silʹnoe chuvstvo na zemle - li͡ubovʹ. Odno iz glavnykh kachestv Mirova - umenie, s odnoĭ storony, vosprinimatʹ realʹnostʹ nepredvzi͡ato, po-i͡unosheski naivno i otkryto, a s drugoĭ, tonko podmechatʹ maleĭshie tonkosti i ni͡uansy i opisyvatʹ ikh serʹeznym vzroslym i͡azykom s ogromnym kolichestvom literaturnykh alli͡uziĭ i otsylok.
