Quote: “I want vices,” Jane clapped her hands. - I want vices and perversions.
“Okay,” said Avgiy Filippovich slowly. The girls rushed after him. They approached a small, neat hut.
“There used to be a terrible brothel here,” said Avgy Filippovich. - We dispersed him. But the roots remained. Now I will show them to you. - Having squeezed into the room, the girls looked inside with curiosity (? - RJ ) . In the middle of the room, on a huge bed, sat two old men of about 90 years old. One was muttering, knitting something, the other was hardly chewing a carrot.
“These are homosexuals,” whispered the headman. - They have been living together as husband and wife for 40 years.
On the walls hung: a portrait of Schwarzenegger with a naked torso, Oscar Wilde with a flower in his buttonhole, a black boxer in the ring, Apollo playing the flute, and a couple of photographs of a sadomasochistic look.

She published her philologically elegant and cruelly artless prose in periodicals. Shulman's first book was called "The Island"; this is the second one.

Quote (“Gorky - Mother - Vlasov”): Semyon Arkadyevich’s ears contained a continuous, some kind of generalized groan, his eyes gaped with pus, blood, pain and incurability seen throughout the day. Even the nose consisted of the smells of disease and combinations of medicinal compounds. Semyon Arkadyevich sterilized his hands, but it was impossible to scratch out, extract, amputate, sew up, anesthetize what he had seen in a year, a month, the last day... Medical activity, very active, for wear and tear, now seemed meaningless to him... He walked around the huts and treated, treated, treated, everywhere meeting the blessing of the workers and peasants. But with the same ease, after his departure, they again mortally beat their wives, children, and destroyed themselves... Apparently, there was no core of value in their lives... Apparently, they had to start from another... Go a different way... .
A.V.Amphitheaters . Collected works: In 10 volumes. T. 1. Novels / Comp., conc. Art., note. T.F. Prokopova. - M.: Intelvac, 2000. - 848 p.; circulation 3000 copies; ISBN 5-93264-020-0.
The ten-volume volume of the most odious of the boulevard Behemoths of the era of Russian decadence is creeping towards us like a tongue of spicy and foul-smelling lava. Short, like an enthusiastic exhalation, the preface by Timofey Prokopov is called “What a self-sacrificing life!” The publisher's abstract reports that “Amphitheaters... clearly, together with his friend M. Gorky, sympathized with social democracy.”
The first volume includes the early novels “Princess” (1896), “Fire-Color” (1895), “Poisoned Conscience” (1890). It is in this reverse chronological order.
Quote: Lala's fire was lit on a wide flat stone, elevated above the white surf, which bubbled, changing its color according to the color of the flame, writhing high with a sharp and white tongue. Lala stood on the shore completely naked, except for the necklaces, bracelets, talismans hung abundantly on her corpulent chest - the count recognized them as the gris-gris and ju-yu of the Antilles - and Tsmok, entwined from shoulder to shoulder around her neck in a loose, motley ring , with a shiny head under the flashes of the fire, like golden topaz in a huge ring.

The story "In the Land of Love" (1893-1895), the novels "Marya Lusyeva" (1903) and "Marya Lusyeva Abroad" (1910).
Quote: Moreover... you know, when our sister is praised that she is modest, bashful, etc., it sounds ambiguous to the point of stupidity. What the hell is modesty and bashfulness if the profession itself is shameless? Well, but for Nyuta, as an exception, it’s amazing how these certifications went. There was something in her simplicity... indestructible, eternally chaste. For example, I am sure that she has never uttered a single obscene word in her life. And when obscene conversations began around her, she, seizing a convenient moment, quietly got up and left, no matter how important and profitable the guests were.
Fedor Stepun (N. Lugin). From letters of a warrant officer-artilleryman / Afterword. S.M. Polovinkina. - Tomsk: Aquarius, 2000. - 192 p.; circulation 450 copies; ISBN 5-7137-0134-4.
Front-line correspondence of 1914-1916. The closest and, perhaps, the only correct analogy is “In Thunderstorms of Steel” by Ernst Junger . The destinies of Stepun and Yunger continued to resonate in the future - sometimes in counterpoint, sometimes in unison. Perhaps the author of “The Tragedy of Mystical Consciousness” (1911-1912) and “The Mystical Worldview” (1964) did not live as long as the mysterious German philosopher and writer.
The text is reproduced from the 1918 edition (M.: Zadruga). There is also a Prague edition (1926).
Quote: I think that Germany has already passed through the zenith of its spiritual development. In it, the prophetic gift of revelation is increasingly extinguished and the edge of critical conscience is being sharpened more and more in all areas of culture. This is perhaps most clearly seen in the example of modern German philosophy, which from a system of comprehension is more and more definitely degenerating into a systematization of incomprehensibility.
B.F. Egorov. Apollo Grigoriev. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 (series “Life of Remarkable People”). - 219 pp.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02323-4.
A measured, ingenuously transparent story about one of the most nervous and muddy figures of Russian literature of the 19th century. Last year, B.F. Egorov published a book about Yuri Lotman - also serene to the point of naivety. Good. And then, you know, it’s become fashionable to scare children with critics and literary scholars.
Quote: The Red Eagle Hotel was located on the small Kurstrasse street in the very center of Berlin, near the main street Unter den Linden with the university, theaters, royal art gallery, etc. These were weak, but outlets for theatergoers and people of art. And in order not to languish from loneliness, Grigoriev began a fleeting affair with “maids of honor Linchen”... The appearance and character of the ladies-in-waiting are described with excellent humor in his essay “Conversations with Ivan Ivanovich about modern literature and many other thought-provoking subjects” (1860), where by Ivan Ivanovich the author himself was meant: “Fraulein Linchen... like a true German woman attached herself not to just Prussian thalers, but to many qualities of Ivan Ivanovich, combining the pleasant with the useful... she poured out her soul in endearing nicknames, such as: “ meine schone Puppe" and others, lavished by her even on individual parts of Ivan Ivanovich’s person, such as the hand, nose, etc. "
A.F. Losev . Vladimir Solovyov and his time / Preface. A.A. Tahoe-Godi. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 (series “Life of Remarkable People”, issue 782). - 613[11] p., ill.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02350-1.
For the first time, a book by Alexei Losev (1893-1988) about Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900) was published without cuts. The preface mentions the 1983 edition - a thin book that was sold underground for an insane price. However, according to the personal recollections of RJ employees, in the eighties this book was recommended to students of the philosophical and philological faculties of Moscow State University as compulsory reading, and it was quite accessible in the reading room of the university library. Be that as it may, the new edition, supplemented, provided with comments and an appendix, arrived just in time for the 100th anniversary of the death of Vl. Solovyov.
Three quotes: The publishing house “Mysl”... invites Alexei Fedorovich to publish a small book “Vl.Soloviev” in the series “Thinkers of the Past”...
The book in the eyes of the Press Committee (a denunciation has already been received there) is so harmful, glorifying a complete idealist, mystic, theologian, that it should be immediately destroyed...
Only thanks to the efforts at the top and the sympathy of a number of people... the book is not destroyed. If earlier authors were exiled, now they are exiling a small harmful book about Vl. Solovyov... But the inquisitive reader already knows about the publication of the book. It is bought under the counter in Moscow and Leningrad for the then insane price of one hundred rubles; it is bought up in remote corners. Losev's fans bring him this exiled book as a gift, and he gives it to his friends ( A.A. Taho-Godi . From the preface).
Contrasting oneself with Vl. Solovyov as the basis of self-identification makes Losev related to Rozanov. We still have to figure out what prompted Losev to take up a book about the great philosopher...
Losev's texts are not intended for reading or analysis at all. He is not responsible for what is written in the eyes of the educated public, who do not want to notice the meaning of the words composed by a person whom the intelligentsia appointed as a cult figure ( Dmitry Shusharin. Two reformations. - M.: 2000 ).
If we ask ourselves the question of what is the main socio-historical and socio-religious pathos of Vl. Solovyov in his views on the Jewish and Polish peoples, then it undoubtedly lies in some kind of utopianism that is difficult for us to imagine, growing on the soil of Jewish, Polish and Russian sympathies. Obsessed with his constant idea of unity, Vl. Soloviev wanted at all costs (probably “ didn’t want”? - RJ ) to formulate even the very picture of concrete historical unity. Philosophical theory required the obligatory connection of idea and matter, which in the socio-political sense also meant a theory of the connection of secular and spiritual power. At the same time, it turned out that the secular power that must triumph in the universal church of the future is the power of the Russian Tsar... But the pathetic delights of Vl. Solovyov go further. Spiritual power for him is the Pope... And finally, most surprisingly, this universal theocracy also includes Judaism. Here, however, our surprise is strengthened by the fact that the promotion of Jews to first place in this world theocracy, which will include the Russian Tsar and the Pope, contradicts the very teaching of Vl. Solovyov about the materialism of the Jewish people in connection with their rejection of Christianity ( A.F. .Losev ).
Alexander Panchenko . About Russian history and culture / Comp. A.M.Panchenko; preface N. Skatova . - St. Petersburg: Azbuka, 2000 (Academia series). - 464 pp.; circulation 6000 copies; ISBN 5-267-00274-7.
A collection of works on the religious aspects of Russian culture from St. Andrew the First-Called to Alexander Pushkin. Previously, all articles were published either in special periodicals or as prefaces to small-circulation publications.
Quote: The spirit of fanaticism emanates from Surikov’s Morozova. But it is wrong to consider her a fanatic. Old Russian man, unlike the man of the Enlightenment culture, lived and thought within the framework of religious consciousness. He was “fed” by faith as his daily bread. In Ancient Rus' there were any number of heretics and apostates, but there were no atheists, which means that fanaticism looked different. Boyarina Morozova is a strong character, but not fanatical, without a shadow of gloominess, and it was not for nothing that Avvakum wrote about her as a “cheerful and loving wife” (amiable)... She was not at all alien to human passions and weaknesses.
Nina Goncharova. " Veils of Libels " by Anna Akhmatova. - M.; St. Petersburg: Summer Garden, Russian State Library, 2000. - 680 pp., ill.; circulation 1000 copies; ISBN 5-89740-029-6 (Summer Garden), ISBN 5-7510-0205-9 (RSL).
A detailed textual and editorial history of Akhmatova’s poetic books. Namely books as integral organisms, which over time have undergone both natural evolution and violent interventions from the outside. Piles of archival materials were shoveled, each line was examined under a microscope from the front and back. The dry lists of options are laid out by the conceptual article “Anna Akhmatova. Sketch of a portrait against the backdrop of antiquity,” divided into three sections: it is proved that Anna Andreevna built her final book according to Aristotle’s cathartic patterns, in strict accordance with Plato’s doctrine of Ananka and the plot of the myth of Antigone.
Nina Georgievna Goncharova - compiler and commentator of the volume: Anna Akhmatova. Poems. Poems. Prose. - M.: Ripol classic, 1998 (series "Immortal Library"). The annotated book was started within the framework of the IMLI RAS program for the publication of the academic collected works of the AAA. N. Goncharova, in particular, expresses gratitude to the "researcher of the life and work of Akhmatova Mikhail Mikhailovich Kralin " .
Quote: Poems are placed in the section (“Poems and poems mentioned in Anna Akhmatova’s plans and books”; occupies half the volume. - RZh ) as they appear in plans, manuscripts and books under the names under which they are mentioned by Akhmatova. Unfortunately, in this edition we do not have the opportunity to trace all the textual changes that Akhmatova’s poetry and prose have undergone over the years, so some of them are simply stated in the comments to the plans. If the early edition of the poem is very different from the final one, or a given book (manuscript) includes a censored version of the text, and some plan contains the same text in its true form, then both are given - in the plans of those books where they were first stated by the author ... In general, as far as we understand, our selection is a unique collection of poems and poems by Anna Akhmatova, since it included only those poems that she herself wanted to see in her BOOK and precisely in the time sequence in which they appeared in her plans...
Mikhail Kralin. Arthur and Anna: A novel without a hero, but still about love. - Tomsk: Aquarius, 2000. - 288 pp.; circulation 1000 copies; ISBN 5-7137-0166-2.
Arthur is Arthur Sergeevich Lurie (1891-1966), composer, author of the opera "Arap of Peter the Great" and the madrigal romance "The Shadow", which you have most likely never heard.
And Anna is Anna.
The book is based on the author’s correspondence with A.S. Lurie’s common-law wife, Irina Graham. First edition - L., 1990.
From a letter from I. Graham to M. Kralin dated March 18, 1974: Again the declination and conjugation of Akhmatova! You are a maniac, my child: Akhmatova has become for you the center of the solar system, the only topic on which you can talk to me. You do not accept any criticism, you reject and even revile the objective method, without which, alas! any work becomes only “white” or “black” - without halftones, without colors... I’m afraid that your diploma - or your book - will be a troubadour’s hymn to his lady... Do as you want and invent what you want, in spite of common sense, logic, elementary laws of psychology and historical analysis of past events. Only time will show you mistakes, the memory of which will make you twitch as if burned by a hot iron.
Yuri Molok. Pushkin in 1937: Materials and research on iconography. - M.: New Literary Review, 2000 (series "Scientific Library"). - 272 p., ill.; circulation not specified; ISBN 5-86793-117-Х.

Yuri Aleksandrovich Molok (1929-2000) - art critic, essayist, curator, expert on Soviet graphics (primarily book), father of the famous art critic Nikolai Molok.
Quote: One monument to Pushkin was nevertheless built in 1937, but without any competition. Such a temporary monument without a metal frame made of brick and concrete was made by a prisoner of the Ukhtpechlag in the village of Chibyu (near the city of Ukhta) Nikolai Bruni, a descendant of academician F. Bruni, one of the first artists to “take a portrait” of the dead Pushkin... Judging by old photographs , the Ukhta monument was originally erected on a wooden platform, as if on a scaffold... Bruni’s Pushkin is depicted in a free pose, bright and thoughtful, with a book in his hands, although, keeping in mind the circumstances of the monument’s appearance, he could have been more tragic. The fate of its creator turned out to be tragic; a year after the construction of the monument, during one of the camp audits, he was shot.
Anna A. Zaliznyak, A.D. Shmelev. Introduction to Russian aspectology. - M.: Languages of Russian culture, 2000 (series Studia philologica). - 226 pp.; circulation not specified; ISBN 5-7859-0170-6.
Tutorial. Anna Andreevna Zaliznyak (b. 1959) - Candidate of Philological Sciences, researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Alexey Dmitrievich Shmelev (b. 1957) - Doctor of the same sciences, professor of the Russian language department at Moscow State Pedagogical University. However, their co-authorship is apparently not inter-institutional, but hereditary. After all, Anna is most likely the daughter of the outstanding structural linguist Academician Andrei Anatolyevich Zaliznyak (“Grammar Dictionary of the Russian Language”). And Alexey is probably the son of no less important academician Dmitry Nikolaevich Shmelev. The fathers visited each other and discussed the consequences of the fall of the reduced. The children played in the next room: they unscrewed phraseological units and built towers of phonemes.
Quote: Verbs of intermittent-mitigating mode of action refer to nonsense. mind. It should be emphasized that they are single-species, i.e. They do not form species couples with verbs of a delimitative method of action with the prefix (which are also one-shaped, but belong to the owls): it cannot mean “walking many times”, cannot mean 'many times ”, etc. .
A.E. Lukyanov. Lao Tzu and Confucius: Philosophy of Tao. - M.: Publishing company "Eastern Literature" RAS, 2000. - 384 p.; circulation 1500 copies; ISBN 5-02-018122-6.
Anatoly Evgenievich Lukyanov professes at the Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is the author of two monographs in Chinese philosophy: “The origins of Tao (ancient Chinese myth)” (1992) and “Tao of the Book of Changes” (1993). Two from the annotated book could also come out: “Philosophy of Tao Lao-Tsu” and “Philosophy of Tao Confucius. "However, the publishing house decided to unite them in one volume. Either because of semantic roll calls, or because the plan is not rubber. Or for the reason that ten years ago (1991) Lukyanov published a brochure" Laozzi: Philosophy of Early Taoism " - not in IF" Eastern Literature ", but in the publishing house of the Ud. And the name of the ancient sage on the title was written incorrectly. Mastily, without a hyphen.
Quote: Heraclitus , Empedocles and Lao Tzu are pure to their belonging to cosmic naturalness and are not “tarnished” by civilization. In essence, they are real demons, which, which are realized by themselves ... their physical existence ... cannot be called human. It is cosmic and anti -anthropomorphic.

Sections: “Time and Labor”, “Labor and Systems of Values”, “Scientific Culture and Folk Culture”, “To Historical Anthropology”.

And someone - that in the Panchenko collection, the opposite is true.
In the original language, first published in 1977.
Quote: I would like to go to more ambitious tasks now, and the articles presented here are the first milestones on this path. To promote the creation of historical anthropology of the pre -industrial West. Explore several important components of the medieval imaginary. And at the same time, to determine, based on the qualifications and experience of a medievist, the methods of a new discipline adapted to new objects of history, the faithful double nature of history, especially the history of the Middle Ages, combining accuracy and imagination. Disciplines that determined the critical methods of the new concept of the document, the concept of a monument document that lays the basis of a new chronological science, which will not be just linear, but formulates scientific requirements for legitimate comparativeism, that is, a method that will not allow you to compare it with anything, with anything, Alive when and anywhere.

Quote: Isaac Newton cannot be called a pretty person. His bad relations with other scientists gained wide fame, and in the last years of his life he spent mainly in sharp disputes ... Leibniz and Newton, independently, developed the area of mathematics, called differential calculus ... Although ... Newton discovered this counting A few years earlier, Leibniz, he published his work much later. A grandiose dispute arose about who was the first ... It is wonderful that almost all the articles in defense of Newton were written by himself and ... published under the names of his friends! .. They say that after the death of Leibniz Newton said that he said that he He received great satisfaction from the fact that he managed to "break the heart of Leibniz."

The book does not look at all in an aczistalist. These are put under a Christmas tree for the New Year: a cozy magicus on the cover; wallpaper outwall; Almost square, as if in a collection of fairy tales, a format; Photos of Ortis Echague in the clumsy Moorish frames; two columns of the set on the page; The headset "Frisis of the square" (where did they dig it, intricate?); The index explains that Shakespeare William is an English playwright and poet, and Mussolini Benito is an Italian politician. This present prepared for the children the family couple Geleskul/Malinovskaya; All transfers are new, except for " aesthetics in the tram ", "death and resurrection" (B. Dubin) and, of course, " uprising of the masses ." The "Andalusian Concept" in the table of contents is called "Ogeters".

The best of the written Camus. Stronger than the " plague ". It is more thoughtful than the " myth of Sisyphus ." Stylistically sophisticated than "outsider".
Quote: We have to lead a difficult life ... We have to work hard and fight to again find loneliness ... The world is beautiful and this is the whole thing. He patiently explains to us the great truth, consisting in the fact that the mind and even the heart are nothing. And a stone warmed by the sun, or cypress, which seems even higher against the background of a clear sky, outlines the only world where the concept of "be right" acquires meaning - nature without man.
This world destroys me. He erases me from the face of the earth. He denies me without anger. And I, reconciled and defeated, rush in search of wisdom, which everything is already subject to - if only tears would not cover me with an eyes and only a loud sob, bursting my chest, did not force me to forget about the truth of the world.

In the stylish and charming film by Alan Raolph " Modernists " Hemingway was bred by a narcissistic turkey who sits at once in all Parisian cafes and is always not to the place of Kuldycheta of banality. And Gertrude Stein is a masculine vengeful monster. Reading the fake "Autobiography" (1933) of the Steinovsky lover, you understand that Raolf was not in the ten, but in the nine. From the "apple"-the prototype of the caricature deck played on the film screen Ilsa Rainven, separates the micron circle of wisdom and self-irony. By the way, Alisa B. Koklas is also listed in the list of actors of the "modernists". But do we remember her? Yes, if it went for that, do we remember the cute Linda Fjorentino Linda Protagonist? No: only a secondary witch Gerstrudu. And a little weaker - Ernest Bolvan.
Quote: Hemingway said that he was undoubtedly going to be a writer (from the original, all the “excess” punctuation marks; translator Irina Ninova (1958-1994) worked beyond praise. - RZH ) . She and his wife left for travel and very soon Hemingway had already appeared alone. He came about ten in the morning and stayed, he stayed for lunch, he stayed after dinner, he stayed for dinner, he remained until ten in the evening, and then he suddenly stated that his wife was waiting for the child, and then, with great irritation, and I I am too young to be a father. We comforted him as best we could and escorted him.
Flann O'Brien. About waterfowl. Difficult life: novels / Per. from English V. Simonova and V. Chernanysh; preface V. Schubinsky. - St. Petersburg: Symposium, 2000 (EX LIBRIS). - 448 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-89091-127-9.
Brian O'NOLAN, aka Brian O'Nualine, aka Flenn O'Brien, aka Miles-Na-Gopalin, was born in the Irish province in 1911. By the time of his death in 1964, he achieved a lot: he led a satirical column in the popular magazine "Irish Times", served as a secretary with the minister; And in his youth (1939), he even published the sensational modernist novel "On Water Flooding." Nevertheless, O'Brien should be recognized as a loser - for, despite repeated attempts ("Archives of the Divi"; "Third Police"; an beal bocht, that is, "Hungry mouth"; "Difficult life") He did not manage to blind From the letters of the new, alternative Leopold Bloom. And he himself realized that he could not. The above novels, in addition to the debut, saw the light only after their author went into darkness. After all, the Irish literature of the twentieth century is similar to the first altov concert by Schnita. One soloist in the core of the orchestra, one Leopold in the literature of Air. And the creator of Leopold is one.
Quote: “Excellent,” said Mr. Ferriski with the meek smile that so attracted the people with whom he had to meet, but do not also underestimate the fact that the speed of light in Vacuo is 186.325 miles per second. And the speed of sound in the air is 1.120 feet per second, in tin - 8.150, in a red tree and other dense varieties of wood - approximately 11 feet per second, and in spruce wood - 20. Fifteen degrees are equal to the square of the six -minus the square of the square from the root of four, respectively, what the result is divided into four. The pound of sterling in percentage is divided as follows: 1.25 hundredths of hundredth percent will amount to three pence; 5 percent are equal to one shilling, and 12.25 hundredths of hundredth percent are semi -crown. Let me also remind some metric equivalents: one mile is 1.6093 kilometers; One inch - 2.54 centimeters; One ounce will be 28.352 grams. Chemical symbol of calcium - CA, and cadmium - CD. The trapezoid can be defined as a four -sided geometric figure, which is divided into two triangles through a diagonal.
Verkor. Silva: Roman / Per. from fr. I. Volievich. - M.: XXI century - Consent, 2000 (series "Metaphor"). - 317 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-293-00008.
As everything is easy in fairy tales: the frog turns into a beautiful princess, after a couple of lines they play a wedding-and there will be any torment of conscience with Ivanushka-fool that he will have to live with a former amphibian. At Verkor (Jean Bryuller, p. 1902) the fox turns into a girl, but at the same time retains the habits of the beast. No mind, no manner. What to do with a young lovely creature that has a human shell, but inside remains a wild fox? However, if you think, is it so terrible? In essence, did a person go far from the animal? .. And in the final - exactly in the fable: he sees an eye, but a tooth is in a heifer. Love is evil, you understand.
"Silva" came out in French in 1961, the translation of Irina Verevich was first published in 1990. I remember that in the 60s, among the native aspen, the novel of Verkor "People or Animals?" (1952, Rus. 1957). About how the female monkey became pregnant from the male Homo sapiens. If the Frenchman has a fad - this is for life. Verkor, by the way, died in 1991. And then from the “Consent” annotation we can conclude that he to this day goes hunting. Strong 98-year-old old man.
Quote: Having woken up the next day already sober up, I found that I was holding in an arms, holding between a chin and knees, like a walnut in the forceps, Silva, which was curled up by a kalachik; Her hair tickled my face. And I was surprised that, although hops flew off me, I completely do not feel neither as embossed, or harassed, nor confused, lying in an embrace with this young creature ... I did not strive for self -deception. This is a fox. And yet, trying to imagine what could happen this night (or maybe nothing happened?), I felt neither shame nor regrets. The former disgust seemed to me now stupidity, an absurd prejudice. So what has changed? If not Silva, then I myself?

The same novel and the same translation as in the publication of the Symposium annotated in the second issue of the Swedish shop. True, there are no load novels and stories, but the price is lower and the design of Vispers. And most importantly - the quote is completely different.
Quote: The story resumes its interrupted move; The space of his movement is overloaded, tightly; There is not a single loophole in it where the horror of emptiness could seep; Behind the canopy, drawn by a geometric pattern, among the marked pillows and rollers, the air is filled with the smell of our naked bodies: Irina’s breasts are slightly issued on a thin torso; The brown areola of the nipples would have come to the place on a more magnificent bust; A narrow, pointed pubis acts in the form of an isosceles triangle (the word "isosceles", once correlated with the pubic of Irina, is filled to me so sensuality that I am not able to pronounce it without inner trembling).
Romain Gary. Dance Genghis Haima: Roman. Stories / Per. from fr. M. Anninskaya, L. Bondarenko, S. Kozitsky, A. Faraionov, L. Tsylyan. - St. Petersburg: Symposium, 2000. - 329 p.; circulation 5000 copies; ISBN 5-89091-112-0.
It is hard to imagine that on the pages of one book, the Jacoconda, reincarnated Jews, former SS men and nymphomaniars fit. Genghis Haim (not to be confused with the lord of the Tatar-Mongols)-a Jewish dibbook (see quote), a former comedian, mowing through human subconscious. Racism and, in particular, anti -Semitism is one of the main topics of Gary, and here it takes very sophisticated forms. With the help of the above characters, the prose writer tries to derive the formula of the perfect world. As far as he manages, to judge the reader, but it is quite possible to learn the basics of Yiddish by the book. So - Maslets to you on the occasion of the release of the fifth volume of the Sobr. op. Gari/Ajara.
Roman 1967. In Russian - for the first time.
Quote: For the first grade commissar, Shatz is by no means a secret that Dibbuk has derived into it. This is an evil spirit, a demon that takes possession of you settles in you and controls you as you want. To expel him, prayers are needed, it is necessary that ten pious, revered, known to their holiness of the Jews to throw their influence on the scales and forced the demon to escape. Shatz was already in circles at the synagogue repeatedly, but he did not dare to go in. Perhaps, for the first time in the history of philosophy and religion in a purebred Aryan, the former SS, a Jewish dibbook migrated. In short, it was I who I had to give a voice, find a rabbi myself and beg him to save me from my spacing fate, that is, from the need to constantly hide the German conscience. That is why Shatz, as a rule, takes care of me. He wants to smell me. He wants me to free him from myself under the pretext that I, they say, want to free myself from him.

Volume-out-of-the-volume; Front and behind - on the facade cover. In Soviet times, a similar manner tried to squeeze the Strugatsky: an eagle - "interns", tails - "the second invasion of Martians." In the Lateeltsin era, they experimented with Pelevin: "the life of insects" and ... does not recall, what else. Now, when the director of the Agrah has become Estete and formalist Alexei Parin, two not so long ago buried Brazilian prose writers had a chance.
In June, annotating Roman Clarisi/E (?) Lector (1920/1925 (?)-1977) "The besieged city" (St. Petersburg: Amphora) , RG hinted: the best book of this South American Guria is called "Star Hour." It’s good that the hint was understood and the “hour of the star” was so quickly translated. But it seems that the story turned out to be too puny for an individual publication, and to it - obviously with the persistent "support of the Portuguese Institute of Books and Libraries" - the socialist brick Migeis (1901-1980) about the Russian white -winners, tormented by nostalgia for four walls in four walls, slammed. Belgian overnight stay. The pure, as you see, Couleur Locale, only wild monkeys are not enough.
From "Nikolai!": The right (and other) newspapers write that it has long been known how simple and coldly the OGPU, taking advantage of the tolerance of the third republic, in order not to say in the community with the third republic, acts, taking a slope for every patriotic step of Russian emigrants and Sowing in their midst, discord, intrigue, provocations and terror. That's why even such a brave veteran of Siberia and Crimea as the bulldogs (super! - RG ) , so sensitive to the seemingly distant and implicit influence of the detectives of the Kremlin. And he is not surprised that General Papaver (Eh, Pentalgins sounded more spectacular. - RSH ) ... - The support of a huge chain of conspiracies, the purpose of which is to kill the multi -headed hydra of atheistic and socialist materialism in the bud - became the target of their destructive activity.
From the "Hour of the Star": Makaba understood one thing: Gloria was the reason for her misfortunes. But so it should have happened: Gloria was Tolstoy. Completeness has always been a secret dream of Makabei, because even in Masiao she heard some guy said a fat woman who was passing along the street: "Complete is your beauty!" From that moment, she wanted to get better, and then she expressed the only request in her life. She asked the aunt to buy fish oil (even then she was affected by advertising), to which the aunt answered:
“Do you imagine that you are the daughter of a millionaire?”

Цитата: - Я с самого начала понял, кто преступник, - заявил комиссар, доверительно придвинувшись и вглядываясь в нас, как будто мы маячили где-то у линии горизонта. - Осмотр гостиницы и опрос свидетелей подтвердили мои подозрения.
Я чувствовал, что готов ему поверить. Запутанные преступления - прерогатива литературы; реальность всегда проще... Кроме того, Аубри предположительно имел некоторый опыт в этих делах. В романах... полицейские - вечно ошибающиеся недотепы. На самом деле они еще хуже, и если не всегда прокалываются, так только потому, что преступление, как и сумасшествие, есть продукт упрощения и несовершенства.
