Принцесса Ангина (2-е издание)

Enfant terrible, kotoryĭ otkazyvalsi͡a vosprinimatʹ zhiznʹ vserʹez. On mechtal bytʹ Bogom, a stal pisatelem, khudozhnikom, st͡senaristom, dramaturgom, akterom. Da kem on tolʹko ne byl, vsegda pri ėtom ostavai͡asʹ samim soboĭ. Mnogolikiĭ i neulovimyĭ Rolan Topor - pisatelʹ-snovidet͡s, inakovyĭ - ne po sobstvennomu zhelanii͡u, a v silu obstoi͡atelʹstv, po vole li͡udoedskoĭ istorii, kotoroĭ net dela do cheloveka. Vsi͡u zhiznʹ on budet perepridumyvatʹ istorii͡u - chastnui͡u i kollektivnui͡u. Vsi͡u zhiznʹ Topor budet tkatʹ sobstvennyĭ mif iz obryvkov snov i toshnotvornoĭ realʹnosti, sozdavatʹ tonkoe, nevesomoe polotno s neponi͡atnymi i prichudlivymi uzorami. "Print͡sessa Angina" - skazka, v kotoroĭ net ni nameka, ni morali. Vedʹ i to i drugoe - uzhasno skuchno. Tolʹko absurd, tolʹko khimery voobrazhenii͡a, grozi͡ashchie vyprygnutʹ so stranit͡s. Chitaĭte, esli osmelitesʹ. No esli nichego ne poĭmete, ne vzdumaĭte peni͡atʹ ėto avtoru. Ne ego rabota tolkovatʹ snovidenii͡a, ego rabota - ikh zapechatletʹ.

An enfant terrible who refused to take life seriously. He dreamed of being a God, but he became a writer, an artist, a screenwriter, a playwright, and an actor. He was everything he was, but he was always himself. The many—faced and elusive Roland Topor is a dream writer, different - not by his own will, but by force of circumstances, by the will of a cannibalistic story that does not care about man. He will spend his whole life re—inventing history, private and collective. All his life, the Axe will weave its own myth from fragments of dreams and sickening reality, creating a thin, weightless canvas with incomprehensible and bizarre patterns. "Princess Angina" is a fairy tale in which there is neither a hint nor a moral. After all, both are terribly boring. Only the absurd, only the chimeras of imagination, threatening to jump out of the pages. Read it if you dare. But if you don't understand anything, don't blame the author for it. It's not his job to interpret dreams, it's his job to capture them.
