Composition “What is love?”


What kind of love happens What kind of love – this is the problem over which Russian writer V. P. Astafyev is reasoning. The author speaks with indignation about the incident that occurred once on the train, where he witnessed how a disabled person who lost his hands in a war, slavishly, obediently looked after his wife, trying to please her in every possible way.
