This is an automatically translated description

The midlife crisis sneaks up suddenly and unnoticed, and then it suddenly turns out that most of the years of your adult life are actually devoid of any meaning, and the happiest period is hidden in the past, in your childhood, which you can no longer reach and the memories of which are gripping you more and more.

This is exactly how the hero of the novel A Breath of Air feels when he realises that something is wrong in his life, and in fact, everything is. This prompts him to embark on an imaginary and real journey to the world of his childhood, the only place where he was ever happy. Of course, such journeys to the origins of one's former life and one's former identity almost never succeed.

Meanwhile, the world is hovering over the brink of a new great war, with only a few months of the former peaceful life left - huge black bombers are flying in the sky more and more often, heralding irrevocable, rapid and terrible changes.
