An anniversary offline report on the online work. 67 articles, reviews, interviews plus one - but what! - Forum. The materials are grouped somewhat chaotic: in the room where a three -year -old child lives and plays, everything is always upside down.

One of the main fiction sensations of 2000.
Quote: And, in addition to the foregoing, another sentence, absolutely necessary compositely, as the right part of the equation, as Archimedes counterweight, as Wittgenstein's negative portrait. When Casimir Lukyanych needed to dig up the worms for fishing, he asked for this a neighbor Mishka, a large specialist in this part.
Or, more simply: not every boat rests with his nose into the cape.

The first third of the XIX century from the point of view of the bile and flawed misanthrope. Higher school of slander. Pushkin gave Philippovich the dubious immortality with the line "But, Vigel, mercy my ass!".
According to the publisher I.V. Zakharov , they are reconciled from a two -volume: F.F.Vigel. Notes. - M .: Artel of the writers "Circle", 1928. Equipped with a pointer of names.
Quote: When I began to know Speransky, he stepped out of the clerks through a simple nobility and climbed right into the noble. At the new height, at which he was, I do not know what he revered himself; It is only known that the most nobility wanted to trample on him. The example of Napoleon turned his head. He had no son, did not think to marry and he wanted to convey one glory of his own name to the offspring.

Anna Fedorovna (1829-1889), unlike dad, shone in the court field, and not in literary. But behind the word maid of honor did not go into his pocket: genes.
Repested from a two -volume: A.F. Tyutchev. At the court of two emperors: memories. Diary. - M.: Edition of M. and S. Sabashnikov, 1928-1929. With a pointer of names.
Quote: My heart is still very poorly trained in the sense of official sensitivity and does not yet know how to respond to all august joys and sorrows. The craft of the courtiers is not at all as easy as they think, and to fulfill it well, you need talent, which not everyone has. You need to be able to find the starting point of the support, so that with hunting, voluntarily and with the dignity of play the role of a friend and serf, so that it is easy and fun to move from the living room to Lake, to always be ready to listen to the most intimate impebs of the Lord and wear his coats and feces behind him.

Almanac Dada / Per. With him. and fr. Ed. M. Zyumskaya and M. Golovanivskaya; general. Ed. S. Kudryavtseva; scientific. sub. M. Zyumskaya. - M., Gileya, 2000. - 208 p.; circulation of 1500 copies; ISBN 5-87987-0134-8.
The hit of the season, released by the radical publishing house "Gileya", specializing in Malevich and Brander at the same time. Also, Sergey Kudryavtsev publishes the leaflet " Anarch.ru ". Fortunately, the recent anarchism is not spilled into editing technique. This is an almost perfect publication in our times: with verified translations, comments and a list of personalities.
It is known about Dadaism that he was invented in Zurich Lenin and Trotsky. Later they were sent by the main Dadaist Tristan Tzara in a sealed car to make a Russian revolution. In addition, it is reliably known about Dadaism that every honest person, that is, a natural non -conformist, is Dadaist ("Dadaist - a man of chance with good eyes." R. Hulzenbek).
All the good that happened in culture after 1920 (Lenin, Boys, Warhol, Khrushchev, Cage, Tarantino, Brener), there is a finally defeating Dadaism. The Dadaists, hiding in neutral Switzerland, perfectly understood that "the world war of newspapers. In fact, it has never been." Bodriyar thought to the fact that there was no war in the Gulf, only seventy-three years later.
Quotes: The gastric climate determines here (in Russia. - RJ ) hypertrophication of reality, overwhelming to fat, and these processes are very different from how reasonable and sluggish this is done in Germany ...
A person, in general, does not like to see himself as he really is: under the epidermis, behind the sebaceous glands - absorbent, pumping fetid mechanisms, gutted. The analogue of this myopia against themselves - people like to put meaning into infinity, without daring to perceive only the visible meaning, the dictated usefulness of the assessment of things as nonsense ...
The poet, an artist hired by newspapers, affirms the understanding of his work; a miserable lining of a coat of public benefit; Tauries covering livestock, urine, compensating for the heated animal, cherishing low -powered instincts. Drub and vulgar flesh that multiplies with typographic microbes.
Francis Ponj . On the side of things / per. with fr. D. Krotova, B. Dubina; sost., comment., afterwood. Daria Krotova. - M.: Gnosis, 2000. - 208 p.; circulation of 2000 copies; ISBN 5-8163-00113.
Francis Ponj was born in 1899, died in 1989. And almost all this time he blocked the structures of his native speech in writing. He opposed the language - on the side of things. So to speak, he beat the enemy with his weapons. In essence, Rene Shar, Maurice Blancho, Philip Sollers, Philip Zhakota were the same. All of them were abundantly published by a solid company Gallimard. And the solid sociologist Boris Dubin at his leisure translated them almost all. And continues to translate.
Quote: Water is elusive for me ... it slips between the fingers. And not only! It turns out that it is not so neat (like a lizard or frog): there are traces, spots on my hands, which need to be dried or wiped for a long time. She eludes me, but at the same time marks me, and I can not do anything about it.
In fact, this is the same thing: it eludes, eludes any definition, and at the same time leaves traces in my soul and paper, shapeless spots.

Classics of patristic anthropology. And anthropometry. And pathoanatomy. A careful, impeccable translation.
Quote: Since the ceasefire fades the warmth, which has stopped life, so that the dead cools, then in the warmth we see the cause of life. After all, if the absence of something causes death, then it is absolutely necessary to admit that a living being [steady] is if there is this. And we see a kind of source and the beginning of this power in the heart, from which through the pitch -shaped channels, diverging from each other, fiery and warm breath spreads throughout the body. And since it is necessary that nature delivers hot food - after all, the fire cannot maintain itself when nothing nourishes it, then the streams of blood from the liver, as if from a source, are accompanied by hot breathing everywhere in the body so that nature does not die ...

“Translation by L. Pozdneeva,” writes Mr. Torchinov in the preface, “an outstanding monument of the history of Russian Chinese studies, quite worthy of the most close and favorable attention of the modern reader.”
Zhuang Tzu is the very philosopher whom modern postmodernists confuse all the way with a butterfly. The translation of L.D. Pozdneeva was first published in 1967.
Quote: “Eyes are similar in form,” said the dwarf, “I don’t understand what the difference between them is, but I don’t see the blind.” Ears are similar in shape - I do not understand what the difference is between them, but the deaf does not hear himself. Hearts are similar in form - I do not understand what the difference is between them, and the crazy does not gain itself. The body is also likened to the body, but they may be separated by things. I strive to find a semblance, but is not able to find it.

Quote: Fourteen years old, young Jesus, blessed by God, crossed to the other side of the Indus and settled among the Aryans, in the country blessed by God ...
The glory of a wonderful youth spread into the depths of the North Indus; When he followed the country of Penjab and Rajoputan, admirers of the god Jain asked him to settle with them.

The flowers of St. Francis of Assisian : the first life of St. Francis. With the appendix of the essay G.K. Chetton "St. Francis of Assis" / Per. With lat. and English. N. TRAUBERG ; comp. And the foreword. Doctor of Theology Ilya Stogov. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2000 (series "Alexandria Library"). - 400 s.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-05-005008-1.
"The first life of St. Francis", "The flowers of St. Francis", "Works of St. Francis", Essay Chesterton. Crystal texts in the arrangement of Natalia Leonidovna Traubberg , a person with a crystal reputation.
Quote from the preface (D.B. I. Stogov): Just a couple of years after I left Assisi, a destructive five -point earthquake occurred there. The murals of Giotto were destroyed, the collapsed floors killed two monks. But the tomb of the "poor thing" - the sarcophagus cut down in the gray rock - was not affected at all.
There, at a depth of several meters under the green grass of the Italian province of Umbria, silence still reigns.

Claude Henri Rock. Bruegel, or a workshop of dreams. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 ("Life of wonderful people", issue 774). - 298 p., Il.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02364-1.
To begin, of course, it should be with the fact that Peter Bruegel the Elder, nicknamed Muzhitsky, is a great artist. To this reason, you see his name in the familiar frame with a secret shudder. Gorky Alexei Maksimovich is not to blame: fictionalized biographies are not his invention. Their authors attribute their awkward and clumsy thoughts to great people - true Erinius, pursuing a person after death. So the French writer Claude Henri Rock decided to use the surrealist technique of opening reality through dreams to the surrealist artist of the Northern Renaissance. But the thing is that the artist himself said everything clearly quite clearly with his paintings; It would be better to try to understand and interpret these statements.
However, there is always a person who only reads such books. So you imagine the Siberian town covered with snow, an unmarried Balzacian teacher who looks at the frozen window at the “winter landscape”, dropping the composition of Mr. Rock from the weakened hands.
Quote: Bruegel’s drawing, most likely, was just a joke. But at the same time, he could contain a bit of wisdom in himself .

Andre Morois . Don Juan, or Byron's life / Per. with fr. M.P. Bogoslovskaya and O.I. Yarikova (preface); Str. Art. S.B.Dimbinova. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 ("Life of wonderful people", issue 745). - 422 [10] p., Il.; circulation of 6000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02327-7.
For the first time in Russian without bills. Maria Pavlovna Theological - Translator of Stodalevsky "Red and Black" (together with Sergey Bobrov) and the Folkner "Defender of the Poach".
Quote: These last days Polydori stuck continuously on Piccadilly. There was also Nathan, a Jew-musician, to whom Byron gave his "Jewish melodies." Hent often came in and every day - a hobhaus. Kinner brought a pie and two bottles of champagne on the road. Then Hanson appeared to tell about a date with Lady Bairon; According to him, she looked as if she had "everything is broken here" (he pointed to her heart). Polydori, noisy and naive, intervened in the conversations of all visitors, talked about the diary that would keep, and the three tragedies he wrote. The Hobhaus, the Englishman to the Bones of the Bones, did not approve of this doctor-foreigner. He did not like Polydori. He christened him Polly-Dolly and told Byron that he would regret that he would take him with him. Disputes, visits, gifts somewhat brightened these last days and covered their sadness.
Albert Goldman. John Lennon / Per. from English. And the foreword. V.I. Grigoryeva; Interview with Yu.Saulsky. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 ("Life of wonderful people", issue 784). - 615 [9] p., Il.; circulation of 10,000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02388-9.
Absolutely unpleasant - and therefore the Academic -Reshobal series "ZhZL" is very fresh in the context - the biography of the wife Yoko it. In English was released in 1988. She became a bestseller.
Unfortunately, the translation of V. Grigoryev can not be called successful (in the following quote, all cultural and syntactic errors are corrected - like “Colfield” instead of “Cofield” and “Symbol” (neopus.) Instead of “Symbol” ). However, there will be nowhere to take another translation in the next twenty years.
Quote: If at first glance the murder was committed in order to instantly become famous, then the study of the personality of Chepman revealed much deeper causes of the crime. Since the same time, at the age of eighteen, he read the novel by Jerome David Salinger “Above the abyss in the rye”, Mark Chepman identified himself with the hero of this work Holden Caulfield ... Holden and Mark had the same critical pole of love (to children and to the very concept of childhood) and hatred (directed against the whole world of adults, especially against large “shirts”,, especially against large shirts, crawling out on the forefront, which Mark considered no more than hypocrites). It was fulfilling the “task of paramount importance”, Czepman, who considered himself “Holden Collfield of his generation”, decided to kill John Lennon, a symbol of all “hypocrisy” of the modern world.

Lawrence Stern . The life and opinions of Tristram Sheny, gentleman: Roman / Per. from English. and comm. A. Frankovsky; Victor Shklovsky .

Two masterpieces of the two countries and eras in one bottle. Gift edition in the best sense of these words.
Quote: If you take the “Tristram Sheny” stern and start reading it, then the first impression will be chaos.

William Butler Yates. Vision: poetic, dramatic, magical / per. from English. T. Azarkovich, N. Bavina, K. Golubovich, O. Isaeva, D. Krotova, E. Lavut, S. Likhacheva, A. Nesterova, K. Chukhrukidze; comp. And the foreword. K. Golubovich; general. editors and comment. N. Bavina, K. Golubovich; Article "W.B. Yates: Sub Rosa Mystica" by A. Nesterova. - M.: Logos, 2000. - 768 p.; circulation of 2000 copies; ISBN 5-8163-00121.
The huge Tomina soars over the countertop, like a clot of ectoplasm - above the gentleman's head from a photo on the cover: real and at the same time incomprehensible. Ksenia Golubovich combined the chosen texts of the great Irish (1865-1939) in an unprecedented conglomerate. The nucleus of the book is “Vision” (Vision, 1925-1937), a treatise dictated by Yates with spirits through George Hide Lee, a woman who the poet took to his wife only because she was a medium. All adjacent texts are highlighted with a strange radiance of this core: an essay about fairies, goblins and banns ; Articles about poetry and drama; political journalism; memoir fragments; novelist trilogy about Michael Robarts; four one -act plays; But first of all - the dry "chronology of life" at the very end. According to the compiler, both artistic creativity, and militant nationalism, and the broken sexuality of Yates are just a consequence of its obsession with supernatural. “He was to sew a book from a virgin parchment, consecrate it and take it with him to a frustration ... He had to stand there in the middle ... terrifying visions until dawn, and from that fear he would not recover to death” (“Witches, Sorcerers and Irish folklore,” 1914).
Quote: you rarely meet a full -fledged ghost - after all, the dead are cloudy - and therefore often only a head or a small part of the body - no more than to recognize - shows over the folds of clothing under which the void is guessed, and sometimes you are short of the arms or legs; Sometimes some Revenant will borrow someone else's, half-finished likeness, and then the exhausted old man appears as the owner of young girlish hands ... Sometimes animals appear, for some reason very often bears, but most often birds and dogs ... Everything that happens with theatrical action or empty struck ... The experiments of Dr. Vybovich often break down from a naked girl in one foot, which constantly appears, which constantly appears. Before the gaze of his medium, he claims that she never lived on earth. He even took a picture of it, leaving the camera in an empty room where she promised to appear, but he is not so confident in her honesty that he doubts whether she had a picture of an illustrated newspaper under the lens.

Emily Dikinson . Poems / in English. and Rus. yaz.; comp. Alexandra Glebovskaya, Sergey Stepanov; Predwell. Alexandra Glebovskaya. - St. Petersburg: Symposium, 2000 (series "Sphere"). - 339 p.; circulation of 2000 copies; ISBN 5-89091-11981.

Brian Oldis . Liberated Frankenstein: Roman / Per. from English. V. Lapitsky. - St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2000 (series "New Age"). - 284 p.; circulation of 6000 copies; ISBN 5-8301-0142-4.
The main thing is to endure the first fifty pages, during which the liberated Frankenstein (English ed. - 1973) seems typical Science Fiction for the beginning of the 70s with its fixation on spatio -temporal shifts and anti -Tecratic walls. By the final, the plot and the narrative manner will undergo a series of dizzying metamorphosis. The hero will suddenly understand that the history of the latest civilization is nothing more than the history of the latest novelism; Then he will sleep with the author of the original " Frankenstein " by Mary Shelley; And finally, plunges into a total, viscous psychedelic blood pressure. At the moment, the publication of the previously not translated novel by Oldis is undoubtedly the brightest luck of the St. Petersburg Amphora. Everest among the flooded bumps and sloping mounds of the New Century series.
Quote: I was with Shelley and Mary - in subordination, a gardener. They have already aged, although I have not grown old. Mary became tiny and fragile, she wore a kapor. The bent Shelley retained, however, the striking liveliness of movements. He had a long beard. He became a member of the Council of Ministers. He was his father. He grew a plant that was supposed to bring a file clipping. His voice sounded like a mandolin. He lifted Mary and put her in his pocket. He publicly stated that he was going to take possession of Greece in a week. He sat on a mossy stone and sobbed inconsolably. Whatever I bring to him in the bowl, the raven ate everything. He launched an air snake and quickly climbed him on a rope.
There was Bairon there. This one turned fat and wore a triangle. “Nothing is disgusting to nature,” he told me, chuckling, as an explanation.
Anthony S. Bayet . Angels and insects: Morpho Eugene. Angel of Marry: Romanes / Per. from English. Mikhail Naumova. - M .: Publishing House Independent Gazeta, 2000 (series "White -Death"). - 416 s.; circulation of 6500 copies; ISBN 5-86712-086-4.
A.S. Baite (b. 1936) received the Buker prize for the novel "Obsession" (1990), long, difficult for translation - and simply boring. For the dilogy Angels & Insects (1992) - nothing; But in 1995, Philip Haas took a film based on Morfo Eugenia, in which Patsy Canit played the ant cucuma so that the synthetic uterus of strangers strangled with envy.
Prose of the highest grade. For the first time in Russian. Do not tear the eyes from the superblapse of the eyes.
Quote: On the hot days of the second half of the summer, when they followed the ants with special attention to observe, if they succeed, the queens and their grooms, it cost him a lot of works not to consider his own life in the light of a humiliating analogy with these tiny creatures. He worked so much, observed, thought, prepared, tracked that his dreams were full of frantically twitching antennae, ants, closing stars, dark and impenetrable complex eyes.

A terrible dream about dered Lucache . Smoothly turning into the encyclopedia of Western intellectualism of the 1990s.
Quote: Knocking my teeth and shedding later, I frantically buried to the shore. He grabbed a branch hanging over the lake, somehow frayed onto the sandblade and collapsed without strength. “Sit down, eat a cake,” the one who came from from a two -meter standing collar came to me courteously. “The professor pursues me,” I complained. Herstenbacker kneeled, took off my cloak, shook it a little and returned it completely dry. And now we will go to Berggass, 19. "What have we forgotten at Berggass, 19?" "The professor, Doctor of Sciences Sigmund Freud wants to inspect you." But I do not want to examine any professor, doctor of sciences of Sigmund Freud! "" Easier on corners. Because of you, the professor, Doctor of Sciences Freud canceled the sessions with Dora and the Wolf Man. He kindly invited you to the sacred blood of his private dwelling, in order to use it in the grave dwells. "" To use what it is to use? "" He will help you remember everything that you reached up to forget. "" No, I don’t want to visit the professor, the doctor of sciences Zigmund Freud! " - I cried out in Herstenbakkerovo's ear.

It has a reputation as a super -complex, highly unusual author to its reader. Ferses dare to translate his distilled, airless prose into Russian. Marina Koreneva dared.
In the original language "Return ..." came out in 1979.
Quote: He firmly pressed a small round skull to his ear, his hand, caressing, glided on his back, buried deeper into a fluffy skin, until finally reached the spine.
The cat did not move, she barely breathed, her eyes were completely rounded and became glass, and the man’s face was reflected in expanding pupils. This went on for quite some time, and yet at some point she began to quietly sniff, and then squeezed out a mournful squeak, right to the Sorger in her ear, not so much from pain as from the last despair, with which she finally came to her relief, so that she even felt his face with his paw completely at home.

The third volume of the cult criminal series of the Dutch diplomat, who composed a wreath of action -packed stories about mysterious, hopelessly lost in the space and time of the oriental country and its incomprehensible Sherlock Holmes named Judge Dee.
Quote: - We are alone now, and I would like to state you, my faithful friend and adviser, my final opinion about the temple of great grace. Come closer so that no one will hear. - Having lowered his voice, Judge Dee spoke like this: - You must understand that it is pointless to continue the investigation. Firstly, it is almost impossible to prove anything firmly. Tao Gan, whom I completely trust, did not find a secret course. And if the monks, it is not known how, still do vile deeds, and there is nothing to expect that their victims dare to testify against them, putting themselves and their husbands to the laughing stock and cast doubt on the legitimacy of their children.
