Sharks of Steel

The prose of Eduard Ovechkin is a direct descendant of the prose of Konetskiy and Pokrovskiy. It is read with joy and saddens without gloom, like the texts of Venichka Erofeev. The lines are driven by the best we have given to the world in general and literature in particular - Russian realism. Which, as we know, has no forbidden themes and colors, abstractness and ostentatious brilliance, but has events, people, and a narrator. Readers fall in love with the colorful, funny, and nostalgic stories about Russian submariners from the very first lines! Here are cheerful tales about naval everyday life, vivid sketches about life in the nineties, and at times the harsh reality of military service. Ovechkin's bright authorial style, trademark naval humor, and a whole gallery of incredible images leave even those far from the "underwater" world indifferent. These stories are simply impossible to tear yourself away from!
