Sportsmeny znayut — kak by ni bylo tyazhelo na distantsii, nelzya sdavatsya: u samyh upryamyh obyazatelno otkryvaetsya vtoroe dyhanie. ZHizn ochen napominaet beg na dlinnuyu distantsiyu — chego tolko ne sluchaetsya, poka bezhish, i nikogda ne znaesh, chto zhdet na finishe. Byvaet, chto otchayanie perehlestyvaet, ty zadyhaeshsya, kazhetsya — net bolshe sil. No tem, kto sumel poborot otchayanie, vypadaet redkaya vozmozhnost: vse ispravit i — izmenit zhizn. Ne pozvolyat bolshe obstoyatelstvam i postoronnim lyudyam vmeshivatsya v nee. Geroi rasskazov, sobrannyh pod etoy oblozhkoy, — kak raz iz teh, kto dozhdalsya vtorogo dyhaniya i ponyal, chto znachit zhit po-nastoyaschemu.
