Review Лёгкие миры Повести рассказы эссе Лёгкие миры Повести рассказы эссе Free download ë 2 Read Ð PDF, DOC, TXT, eBook or Kindle ePUB free Î Tatyana Tolstaya Falls in love with a marble statue as his marriage falls apart; a child glimpses heaven through a stained glass window With the emotional insight of Chekhov the surreal satire of Gogol and a uniue blend of humor and poetry all her own Tolstaya transmutes the uotidian into aetherial alternatives These tales about politics identity love and loss cut to the core of the Russian psyche even as they lay bare human universals Tolstaya's characters seekers all are. 45 starsI really didn t want this to end I had to force myself to finish this because I just wanted to spend the rest of my reading life following in the footsteps of Tatyana Tolstaya watching her travel move homes teach classes reminisce fall in and out of love and occasionally spin a story This book is a miscellany an essay here a personal reminiscence there a travelogue and once in a while a bit of fiction that sweeps you off your feet with its beauty its strangeness or its mordant sense of humour Despite the fact that this is somewhat of a grab bag the book as a whole has a nice sense of structure an arch and even closure as Tolstaya ends as she began with meditations on her family particularly her late father to whom the book is dedicated Beautifully written sensitively translated and deeply engrossing this book captures the personality of a remarkable woman in her many facets If you ve ever read anything else by Tolstaya and liked it I urge you to read this You won t regret it
