But in the eighties these novels no less zealously hunted than immortal Bulgakov's novel.The point here was not in any particularly outstanding artistic merit of books.They were written soundly, but not brilliant.In addition to the Soviet production novel human means only fight for the harvest or exceeding plan.And in this framework did not fit the foreigner Arthur Hailey.The airport is clearly not served a five-year plan in three years.So what is the secret of the popularity of the author?

in a good approach to writing each of his novel.The fact that he wrote his works, meticulously writing out all the details.And the reader could almost see how it can work one or another social organism, so great is described by Arthur Hailey."Airport" appears to us not only as a waiting room and a buffet.Reader after the hero of the work is in the control room, the police station in the cockpit, and even on the snow-covered tarmac.
