December 2, 2022Хорошая книга о Гагарине в период до полета, о его детстве и семье, о тех, кто знал его близко. Книга переплетена различными необременительными бытовыми сценками, очерщивающими положительные черты характера Юрия Алексеевича. В описании чувствуется глубина трудностей жизненного пути не только любимца века, но и живших в одно время с ним. Понравились и лирические отступления про природу, небо, деревца, сельских жителей. От таких книг тепло и трепетно
