Conversations with Ilya are written from unique material: records of conversations of a little boy, kept since his early childhood. The book is interesting to read unexpected awaits at every page and at the same time you are taking part in the development of personality. A childs thinking opens a veil over the deepest aspects of human psyche: How the act of judgment emerges? How the mind begins functioning? What disturbs a human being coming to the world. How does a child relate to parents, teachers, other kids, brother? Conversations reveal the nature of childs worries: there is grief in the world, some fool grabs all the power and gives orders all the time. And everybody obeys him. On the back cover of the first edition there was Ilyas opinion about the making of the book: I see mama, you are always feeding on other peoples brains. And, with pleasure, I recommend that everybody feed on other peoples brains.
