Klubkin’s Voyage

panorama

The name Klubkin is originated from common childish mishearing of the title of the popular scientific TV show about discoveries, travels and adventures that sounds in Russian as Klub kinoputeshestviy. Well, do you have a dream? Surely in your childhood you dreamed of adventures and unexplored lands. Together with heroes of Jules Verne’s novels you would go through the twists and turns of amazing journeys full of perils and unexpected meetings, planned your routes on the map and built models of your future ships.

But life went on, we grew up, and the ship covered with thick layer of dust found her last harbour somewhere on the attic or in the closet, having left the world of our fantasies forever. There was no place for that dream in our daily life, we did not want to share it with someone and all the more did not even try to realize it being afraid of people’s incomprehension and blame, afraid of our own weakness.

And only memory of childhood revives the room, maps, the globe, TV set and adventure movie followed by the famous TV show about geographic discoveries and far unknown lands. Our hero is from that half-forgotten world, who boldly challenged reality. We hope he’ll be all right.
