Андрей Макаревич. Рассказы

Ėti korotenʹkie rasskaziki - kusochki moeĭ zhizni. I͡A ne znai͡u, pochemu oni vse primerno odinakovoĭ dliny - mozhet, iz-za privychki rabotatʹ nad pesni͡ami, pesni͡a tozhe korotkai͡a veshchʹ. I͡A udivli͡alsi͡a ėtoĭ svoeĭ zazhatosti v takoĭ maloĭ forme, voznamerilsi͡a dazhe odnazhdy napisatʹ dlinnyĭ roman - nichego ne vyshlo. I͡A pisal ėti rasskaziki bolʹsheĭ chastʹi͡u dli͡a raznykh zhurnalov - "Stori", "Russkiĭ pioner", i uzhe dovolʹno mnogo let. Poėtomu nekotorye kazhutsi͡a mne segodni͡a neskolʹko ustarevshimi - stolʹko vsego uspelo pomeni͡atʹsi͡a. Khoti͡a sam chelovek, kak utverzhdaet Voland, ne meni͡aetsi͡a. Uvy. Mne samomu interesno ikh inogda perelistyvatʹ - vspominai͡utsi͡a chudesnye puteshestvii͡a, udivitelʹnye prikli͡uchenii͡a. Ili nasha proshlai͡a zhiznʹ - nelepai͡a i trogatelʹnai͡a. Nadei͡usʹ, budet interesno i vam. A. Makarevich

These short stories are pieces of my life. I do not know why they are all about the same length – maybe because of the habit of working on songs, a song is also a short thing. I was surprised at my own tightness in such a small form, and even once I set out to write a long novel, but nothing came of it. I've been writing these short stories mostly for different magazines–Story, Russian Pioneer, and for quite a few years now. That's why some of them seem a little outdated to me today – so many things have changed. Although the person himself, according to Woland, does not change. Alas. I find it interesting to flip through them myself sometimes – I remember wonderful trips, amazing adventures. Or our past life is ridiculous and touching. I hope it will be interesting for you too.
