Всё живо... Рассказы. Портреты. Воспоминания

V knigu Iraklii͡a Andronikova "Vsë zhivo…" voshli ego nepovtorimye ustnye rasskazy, porazitelʹno zapechatlevshie vremi͡a. Ėto istorii v lit͡sakh, uvidennye svoimi glazami, gde avtor i rasskazchik sovmestilisʹ v odnom cheloveke. Vtorai͡a chastʹ knigi - shtrikhi k portretam zamechatelʹnykh li͡udeĭ proshlogo veka, imena kotorykh - istorii͡a nasheĭ kulʹtury. I tretʹi͡a - rasskazy o Lermontove, kotoromu Andronikov posvi͡atil zhiznʹ. "Koldun, charodeĭ, chudotvoret͡s, kudesnik, - pisal o nem Korneĭ Chukovskiĭ. - Za vsi͡u svoi͡u dolgui͡u zhiznʹ i͡a ne vstrechal ni odnogo cheloveka, kotoryĭ byl by khotʹ otdalenno pokhozh na nego. Iz raznykh literaturnykh predaniĭ my znaem, chto v starinu sushchestvovali podobnye mastera i iskusniki. No ikh masterstvo ne idet ni v kakoe sravnenie s tem, kakim obladaet Irakliĭ Andronikov. Delo v tom, chto, edva tolʹko on voĭdet v vashu komnatu, vmeste s nim shumnoĭ i pestroĭ gurʹboĭ voĭdut i Marshak, i Kachalov, i Fadeev, i Simonov, i Otto I͡Ulʹevich Shmidt, i Tyni͡anov, i Pasternak, i Vsevolod Ivanov, i Tarle…"

Irakli Andronikov's book "Everything is Alive ..." includes his unique oral stories, which amazingly captured time. These are stories in person, seen with your own eyes, where the author and the narrator are combined in one person. The second part of the book is the touches to the portraits of wonderful people of the last century, whose names are the history of our culture. And the third is the stories about Lermontov, to whom Andronikov devoted his life. "A sorcerer, a sorcerer, a miracle worker, a magician," Korney Chukovsky wrote about him. – In all my long life, I have not met a single person who was even remotely like him. We know from various literary traditions that in the old days there were such masters and craftsmen. But their skill is nothing compared to that possessed by Irakli Andronikov. The fact is that as soon as he enters your room, Marshak, Kachalov, Fadeev, Simonov, Otto Yulievich Schmidt, Tynyanov, Pasternak, Vsevolod Ivanov, and Tarle will enter with him in a noisy and motley crowd..."
