Владимир Маркович Санин (1929—1989) писал о людях, выбравших в жизни трудную и опасную дорогу, — о полярниках, пожарных, путешественниках.

Сюжеты его произведений зачастую основаны на реальных событиях, развиваются в нетривиальных обстоятельствах и замкнутых сообществах (таких, например, как экипаж судна или лавинная станция).
