Gregory the Servant was born in 1983 in Moscow. He graduated from the directing Department GITIS (workshop of Sergey Zhenovach), the Studio of theatrical art, the soloist of group O Casey. 'The days of Sam' is his first book. And found this manuscript Evgeny Vodolazkin and wrote the Preface.'Cats in literature – the theme is not new. Not going to list everyone who wrote about these sacred animals, from the Cat Murr by Ernst Theodor Hoffmann, and to Muri by Ilya Boyashov. And now Savely. We understand that for cats, every time x-raying people. Heroes Servant – whoever they were, cats or people – are real. Lonely and suffering, laughing and loving. Love in this novel deserves a special mention. It – so happened – Platonic. Highest of all loves'.Eugene Vodolazkin
