A meeting with writer and journalist Valery Panyushkin, who this time under the pseudonym Vallu Kananen wrote not non-fiction for adults, but an adventure and magic book for teenagers and young adults. Zhenya Berkovich from prison called "Lempo Island" the best book for the inner child.
Imagine: you are on holiday in Karelia. It is fabulously beautiful here. But who would have thought that among these forests and lakes, completely different laws reign than in our ordinary life? That you can still meet characters from old legends here today? And that an enchanted island can change you forever? In "Lempo Island", a modern family with three children comes to relax in a picturesque northern place. And the next day, the children disappear...
Valery Panyushkin is a writer and journalist, the author of fifteen documentary books, who worked for many years in leading media outlets, from Kommersant in its heyday to Radio Liberty in its decline.
The meeting host is Nikolay Alexandrov
