Book of Water

Limonov's first prison book is a collection of memoirs dedicated to love and war, politics and women. Once in prison, the author sums up his life, and then this colorful kaleidoscope of scenes collected under one cover acquires special depth and expressiveness. Eduard Limonov wrote that this book could be called "The Book of Time": "But I preferred water. Water carries, washes away, and you can't step into the same water twice." "The wisdom of life is simple - you have gained consciousness, you feel that you have the strength for more than the fate of a mere mortal, immediately go and fight on the barricades of life. Do not spare yourself, strain mercilessly, exploit yourself like a dog. Be arrogant, develop megalomania, look up to the greats. Be strict with yourself, but also rejoice in victories. Otherwise, you will sit by the "Mirror Stream", the story will no longer work, it will stand rusty and cracked." "All people, living, wait for a miracle, that something wonderful will happen to them. It may happen to some, but they will recoil and be afraid of the wonderful. As for me, I have never missed the wonderful." "You need to travel alone. Then you see everything piercingly and brightly." "In general, my advice is to nurture your megalomania! Cultivate your difference from other people in every possible way. There is no need to be like this boring plague." The covers are decorated with iconic portraits of Eduard Limonov, made during the years of writing each book in the series.
