"Scarlet Sails, a beloved Russian fairy-tale for adults and children alike, is a story about dreams coming true, no matter how silly or futile or far-reached they may seem. Who hasn't had wild childhood dreams that we secretly hoped would come true? Alexander Green wrote a book where they do. Written in the early 20th century, in the newly socialist Russia where realism and class struggle were supposed to be the ultimate goal in art, this simple story pays homage to the romaticism and human everlasting need to dream and hope. And really, you'd be hard-pressed to find an ex-Soviet who is not familiar with this fantastical novella, a fairy tale for children and adults."
