Pushkin's choice # 73.
Anthology of fantastic literature. Comp. H.L. Bores, A. Boy Casarez, S. Okampo. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 1999. - 637 p.; circulation of 10,000 copies; Series "Personal Library of Borges"; ISBN 5-8301-0041-X.The recommendation is already the fact that the book is published in the series "Personal Library of Borges". Further "for" - the words of the writer himself: "Once I compiled an anthology of fantastic literature. I do not exclude that it was her among the few chosen ones that will someday new Noah from a new flood ..."
However, according to the controversial master, this will not be needed. Anthology, as a branch of the Bibliotex universe, is immortal. Let's hope that everything is true.
It includes the best, in Borges, fantastic works of world literature. The authors: Akutagawa, Rabelais, Swedenborg, Cao Suezin, Fraser, Lugones ... and many others.
Volumetric works are represented by selected fragments.

Sergey Gandlevsky. Summary: poems. - St. Petersburg: Pushkin Fund, 1999. - 56 p.; The circulation is not indicated; ISBN 5-89803-032-8.“Fagots,” Khrushchev said.
I was not ready for a young man
To realize the rightness of Khrushchev,
But, having lived to his own years,
I was convinced, honestly. "
Such formation is not in vain. And without a trace. Hence the result: Gandlevsky is a poet, at least original. And, which is also a rarity, is harmonious.
In our opinion, his current poetry can be compared with the late works of P.A. Vyazemsky - technical and equally existential temptation, coupled with the proper share of healthy humor and the very sadness that “much knowledge” contains.

Alexander Eremenko. Horizontal country: poems. - St. Petersburg: Pushkin Fund, 1999. - 144 p.; The circulation is not indicated; ISBN 5-85767-012-8.Alexandra Eremenko does not need to be represented. We can only say that now there is a normal, independent collection. 144 pages.
Virtuoso, well -read to the devil and just a genius.
"I was able, separating one from the other,
one from the other completely separate ... "
"And the walkie -talkie in a dream, and the Greeks in farm pipe ..."
Some reproach him with abuse of quotes and excessive bravado. But the first in our times is an irrelevant reproach. The second situation is simply untenable. With a sense of proportion, Eremenko is all right. I repeat, this is a virtuoso. And the "lightness of his verse" can only be frightened.
Be sure to find this book.
"One randomly said phrase
Consciousness exposes how tide ... "

Francois Julien. A treatise on efficiency. Per. with fr. B. Krushnyak. - M., St. Petersburg: Moscow Philosophical Fund, University Book, 1999. - 235 p.; circulation 1350 copies; Series "Library of Modern French Philosophy"; ISBN 5-85133-060-0.“The great thing avoids to succeed” (or: “Waiting until the evening”), ”says Lao Tzu. Therefore, real effectiveness always seems insufficient, the author comments.
Thus, he completely describes the essence of the problem under discussion: the difference between the European and Chinese concept of effectiveness. The "deficiency" of the result exists only where there is a final result itself and a directed, fixing activity directed at it. Where they convince and win.
In the same place where the process is based on, where only transformation, and not creation, manipulation, and not conviction, are possible, there are no problems with insufficient effectiveness. There they are "waiting for the evening", and if they wait, "the corpse of the enemy will swim by."
However, there are many nuances, and the book is dedicated to them.
As supporting sources - Chinese treatises on strategy.

Maria Rybakova. Anna Thunder and her ghost: Roman. The afterword of V. RUDICH. - M.: Verb, 1999. - 224 p.; circulation of 1000 copies.; ISBN 5-87532-059-1.Maria Rybakova is a girl from a literary family. In addition, according to the certification of our issuing editor, it is very beautiful. He cried when he saw the book, said: "People are sculpting, and I - a decay." And again cried.
Without reading.
We read and note - entertaining. The plot is simple: the girl hanged herself and now writes letters to the one who is partly to blame for this. Sad letters. Half -out, half a gravity of consciousness. A little - sketches of "life and morals of young European bohemia, at the same time alien and close Russian heroine of the book."
He writes forty days.
He is not Orpheus, so he does not answer. In general, according to our suspicions, he is German. What explains a lot.
In general, the book is about love. In the high sense of the word.
PS If seriously, then the book should be read - it seems that among those who are called "young Russian writers", a man appeared who assimilated not only "norm", "blue fat" and similar Delicatesses. Really subtle, in your own way, easily and even with the topic of unrequited love, come to terms.
