Linor Goralik. E2-E8: release of the second

E stability, Gaidar defeated; Norwegian Lesnoy said: "Well, what are you, Linor, put it first? Here you are - who were they mowing for?" “For de,” I said. “So they would put him forward,” said NL, “Golos 5 would have increased.” He is a thin psychologist, Norwegian forest; But five votes here would not have decided anything: Gaidar outweighed reliably.

By the way, from time to time someone twisted the counters - either on black, then on Gaidar; For what purpose - I find it difficult to understand. Youth self -affirmation? The sad consequences of meningitis? ..

Why the Gaidar won - in general, it is clear; Firstly, funny, right? Secondly - everyone wants to play with what is familiar; Davydov is more likely to be heard than on the book shelves, Ehrenburg is unmasive, the “fairy tales” of black did not take root in the people, Pelevin is tired (although there were just a lot of votes for him), Zamyatin ... Well, I don’t know why they didn’t want Zamyamin.

One way or another, the result is non -casual - we will build a chain from the "sisters of Wein" to "Timur and his team." But in the end I will offer a choice as the next link everything is completely serious to disgust ...

Let's start. “Wein's sisters” , written by Nabokov in English (no one corrected me, although they agreed that we connect the works of exclusively Russian literature in chains; God with him, we will classify the “sisters” for the great and mighty merits of the author before), the great feat of the translator. For all my love for Ilyin, I have been closer to the Barattarlo translation - perhaps because of the almost sacramental last paragraph: I like the phrase received by the acrostic, and the text of the paragraph itself, with all the difficulties, is very close to the original 1 . You can build on something else, in the "sisters" there are enough various connotations - but I can’t, the hand does not rise; This last paragraph must be used, at least shot. Acrostikh reveals a completely different story of the story here; The spirit of Cinthia, the sign from which the hero waited for so long, waited, searched, did not find and calmed down, turns out to be obvious and frank; The whole story turns inside out, the mystical connection of the phenomena that Cinthia lived, which the protagonist did not want to admit to.

The course of Pelevin , “Chapaev and the Void” : “I recalled his poem, three years ago printed in the“ New Satyricon ”, - as it were, a newspaper article was retold about the dispersal of the next Duma, and“ Meneele Fares ”came out with an acrostic ...” by the way - right from “Chapaev and Void”, there is a clear, smooth and simple intertical transition to to "Timur and his team," simple - nowhere is nowhere, and so beautiful as you can only dream of. Who will find - that 1 point. Your versions?

But we, of course, are not looking for easy ways; Therefore, let's talk about the “musical snuff -box” - a literary cabaret, where von Ernen had to draw our line, where they drank a hansit from a teapot and where Pelevinsky marmalads with Raskolnikov were so obscene. The “musical snuffbox” was a reality - not in the sense that Petka did not die, but in the fact that such a cafe existed. Bunin spoke “Fe” about him, in the diaries he called the cafe the lowest literary baseness and was indignant at the fact that they read all sorts of obtuity from the stage, for example, “Gabrieliad” by Pushkin , not lowering obscene words.

Honestly, personally, I have a number one association with Gabriuliada - this is a nightmare "leg of love." Forget it like a nightmare; Let us turn to the climax - Maria lies after the session with the Archangel Gabriel (after the session with Lucifer, who, as usual, was ahead of everyone); Lies, rests, sweet memories. And what! - Suddenly the furry, white -winged into her window flies a sweet pigeon, he flutters and circles, and tries, and tries funny tunes, and suddenly flies into the knees of a sweet virgin, sits and trembles, pecks her, swaying, moving, and he works with a nose and legs ... continued awkwardly; In short, God-father himself went to Mary in the image, as expected, a dove.

But Chu; No one in his head sounded another excerpt now? ... to the box, playful, descends from heaven (or from the cornice?) Beautiful pigeon: red -closed, blue. The pigeons were different from this dove with manners, shining shining over the head of the rays. He, with a quiet, melodious cooing over a sleeping beauty, hovers, descends and, finally, sits on a delicate rose, love of a magnet, which is ready to bloom. She was covered with the feathers of the dove ... He works, and the bliss in his eyes shines. Either the beak touches slightly, then the wings are trembling with joy ... These are, of course, guys ; We make a move to the "war of the gods." The move is not accidental - it is appropriate to compare the war with Gavriliada, Pushkin loved the guys and not only imitated, but all the time striving someone with a daring Frenchman to compare it as a special praise: either the gentle Batyushkov, then the nervous Baratynsky. "Gabrieliad", however, not to compete with the chubby text of the globalness of the plan, but some details, as above, coincide in two works a miracle as closely. When the guys have the winners - Christian gods - are arranged to relax, the Archangel Gabriel amuses the Trinity with comrades with the paintings of the "magic lantern", the visions of the mired in the vices of the Christian world (later these visions lead the Trinity to the decision to destroy the human race). The first picture shown by Gabriel depicts Constantinople beloved by the Trinity: while Konstantin’s successor surrounds himself with monks and spends the days to interpret “sacred, even false books” , to Constantinople ”... Suddenly, barbarians, like a wild hurricane, / they fly in the imperceptible hordes, / they devastate the imperial ...“ In a strange way, the barbarian saves the Christian world from the Christian world from the Christian world Varvarov: Constantinople was ready to fall when Bayazit, the Bayazit, suffered a crushing defeat from Tamerlan.

We go to Brodsky , his “Travel to Istanbul” , where the hero expresses the same thought, saying: “And we still need to thank Tamerlane and Genghis Khan for the fact that they somewhat detained the process, that they were crushed somewhat, crushed, flowers of Byzantium. It is not true that Russia played the role of the shield that prevented the west of the Tatar -Mongolian iga. The shield of this was played by Constantinople - then the stronghold of organized Christianity ... "

The name "Tamerlan" was not real; It was a Europeanization of the nickname of the great Emir: "Timur -Leng" - an iron chrome. The real name of the commander was Timur. It is he who has in mind Gaidarovskaya Olga, when the sister's question is "who is Timur?" He answers: "The king is such (...) - evil, lame, from medium history." Zhenya, of course, had in mind a completely different Timur; But for us, for our purposes, this one will do quite - we successfully reached Gaidar .

As a result, I got this chain:

Nabokov // Sisters Wein ->
Pelevin // Chapaev and Emptiness ->
Pushkin // Gabriuliada ->
Guys // War of the gods ->
Brodsky // Travel to Istanbul ->
Gaidar // Timur and his team.

Not too much, it seems long; And it was possible, I remind you, in general, in two jumps. Now I'm waiting for your options. You can rule the transitions, you can create your own chain from scratch - everything can. The counters cannot be twisted. In the next issue, I coat your chains and mine - in a worthy better application of the desire for ideal. How to distribute glasses and distribute whether to at all, I have not decided yet; Practice will probably show. Write.

We will choose the next link from three of all options:

Platonov // Socious person
Aksenov // Burn
Tynyanov // Kyuhlya

Everything is serious, as promised. I have my own treasured option. The first or not the first - I will not say, dear Nikolai Sergeevich. Guess yourself.

1 "icicles from zinthia, and the counter is from me, Sibille" - cf. "Light and ice. The brushes are zintia, and the counter is from me, Sibil" (as Ilyin is formed) - and Wed. Icicles by Cynthia, Meter from Me, Sybil - in the English version; icicles are very significant here; How could I oscillates be lowered?!
