"To "lyntom" – to go idle, wander, mop around. So they say in Velyka Kamyanka, where the path of Bohdan Oslavsky started. It took him from Kyiv electric trains through Kuban plains and mountains of the Caucasus, sands of the Kyzylkum and Karakum, bazaars of Samarkand and Bukhara, through the Fergana Valley back to Ukraine. With a backpack, sleeping on the roadside in a tent and cooking on a gas burner. To accept the freely given with joy, to share and trust. However, Bohdan Oslavsky's prose is more than a description of what he saw and heard. It is an attempt to discover something universally human that unites a Ukrainian with an Uzbek, Kyrgyz, or Kazakh, or a Georgian with a Russian. Even if it seems impossible."
