Every nation has its own great writer, its own literary classics, its poets, to whom the state erects monuments and after whom it names streets and metro stations, and there are also favorite poets and writers. The people choose their favorites. So Belarusians chose their favorite poet — Maksim Bahdanovich and their favorite writer — Uladzimir Karatkevich. In the book "Our Neighbor Karatkevich. Words about the Outstanding Writer Uladzimir Karatkevich" Adam Globus collected his notes about the writer with whom he was lucky enough to live next door, on the same landing. It is addressed to a wide range of readers.
