Маленький Гарусов

Redko kto tak talantlyvo y chutko pokazyvaet «malenkogo cheloveka», kak eto delaet Y. Grekova. V proyzvedenyyakh, voshedshykh v sbornyk «Malenkyy Garusov», ona rasskazyvaet ymenno o takykh, na pervyy vzglyad nychem ne prymechatelnykh lyudyakh — nemnogo nelepykh, negromkykh, o kotorykh ne pyshut v peredovytsakh gazet y ne snymayut teleperedachy. Pomymo zaglavnoy, eto povesty y rasskazy «Vdovyy parokhod», «Khozyaeva zhyzny» y «Damskyy master» — klassyka sovetskoy prozy peryoda ottepely. AnnotatsyyaAnatolyy Garusov, glavnyy geroy povesty, davshey nazvanye vsey knyge, — rebenok voyny, chelovek s «glazamy, kak lenyngradskye sumerky». Blokada, smert matery, detskyy dom, potom obshchezhytye. Garusov dazhe ne znal dnya svoego rozhdenyya. Stav vzroslym, on otchayanno khochet «byt kak vse», khochet, chtoby ego lyubyly. On vsyo vremya kak by staraetsya naverstat to, chego ne poluchyl v detstve. Geroy «Vdovego parokhoda», rasskaza «Khozyaeva zhyzny» y povesty «Damskyy master» tozhe mechtayut sobrat po krupytsam schaste, stat khozyaevamy khotya by sobstvennoy zhyzny, ogradyt ee ot bestseremonnogo vtorzhenyya, zashchytytsya ot popytok ee razrushyt. A ved nykto yz geroev Y. Grekovoy ne rodylsya «malenkym chelovekom». Vse: y damskyy master, y obe geroyny «Vdovego parokhoda», y Garusov, y rasskazchyk v «Khozyaevakh zhyzny» — vse ony talantlyvy, kazhdyy po-svoemu, no nykomu yz nykh ne udalos preodolet systemu y raskryt svoy dar.

Rarely has anyone shown the "little man" so brilliantly and sensitively as I. Grekova does. In the works included in the collection "Little Garusov", she talks about such seemingly unremarkable people — a little ridiculous, quiet, who are not written about in newspaper editorials and do not make TV shows. In addition to the title, these are the novellas and short stories "The Widow's Steamer", "The Masters of Life" and "The Ladies' Master" — classics of Soviet prose from the thaw period. Annotations Anatoly Garusov, the main character of the story that gave the title to the entire book, is a child of war, a man with "eyes like Leningrad twilight." The blockade, the death of the mother, the orphanage, then the dormitory. Garusov didn't even know his birthday. As an adult, he desperately wants to "be like everyone else," wants to be loved. He always seems to be trying to make up for what he didn't get as a child. The heroes of The Widow's Steamer, the short story "The Masters of Life" and the novella "The Ladies' Master" also dream of collecting happiness bit by bit, becoming masters of at least their own lives, protecting it from unceremonious invasion, protecting themselves from attempts to destroy it. But none of the heroes of I. Grekova was born a "little man." Everyone: the ladies' master, the two heroines of The Widow's Steamer, Garusov, and the narrator in The Masters of Life — they are all talented, each in their own way, but none of them managed to overcome the system and reveal their gift. Every time has its own "little people", and it is their stories that become iconic, evoking endless sympathy and respect — those feelings for which real literature exists. About the book• Brilliant sketches of the life of "little people" before and after the war. • Interesting, empathetic characters and lively dialogues. • Immerse yourself in the atmosphere and details of everyday life of the thaw era. • Psychological depth: I. Grekova makes you look closely at her characters, noticing all the character traits, motives of actions. This is a deep narrative that makes you think about the most important life issues.: how to become masters of your own life, how to relate to the compassion of others. • Beautiful figurative language and phrasal manner — the author's unique intonation makes you hear the narrator's voice, which makes reading meaningful and enjoyable. • I. Grekova is the pseudonym of writer and mathematician Elena Sergeevna Wentzel (1907-2002). She was a recognized specialist in the field of applied mathematics, and began publishing in 1957. Her works combine psychology, attention to the "little man" and understanding of the social problems of the Soviet era (bureaucracy, envy, callousness), but always retain the light of hope. • Stylish serial design with an illustration on the cover. The collection "Little Garusov" by I. Grekova is a great opportunity to plunge into the life of previous generations or the nostalgic past. A wonderful book as a gift for readers who love twentieth-century Russian prose, family stories, Soviet classics and the works of Boris Bedny's "Girls", Vilya Lipatov's "And It's All about Him", Vera Panova's "Kruzhilikha", Irina Velembovskaya's "Women" and "The Young Wife", Inna's "A Completely New Wife" Goff, "The Long Road in the Dunes" by Oleg Rudnev, as well as "Married for the First Time" by Pavel Nilin.
