Перед солнцем в пятницу

'Pered solnt͡sem v pi͡atnit͡su' - vtorai͡a kniga prozaika i dramaturga Alʹbiny Gumerovoĭ, kuda voshli rasskazy raznykh let i povestʹ, posvi͡ashchennai͡a ott͡su. Geroev ėtoĭ knigi obʺedini͡aet nadezhda na luchshui͡u zhiznʹ, vse oni tak ili inache stremi͡atsi͡a k schastʹi͡u, vnutrennemu pokoi͡u, garmonii, kotorykh dostigai͡ut ne stolʹko putem uluchshenii͡a vneshnikh obstoi͡atelʹstv, skolʹko blagodari͡a rabote dushi. 'Chtoby zhitʹ, chtoby sberechʹ v sebe Cheloveka, nuzhno zastavitʹ dushu rabotatʹ, dazhe pakhatʹ!' - govorit Alʹbina Gumerova, napominai͡a nam: dusha krasiva u vsi͡akogo, dusha sposobna na chudo, na velikie peremeny. Tolʹko my zabyli ob ėtom. Ne zhelaem dumatʹ, chuvstvovatʹ, li͡ubitʹ, prinimatʹ, smiri͡atʹsi͡a, pomogatʹ blizhnemu - i potomu gluboko neschastny...I dazhe esli v chetverg ne budet dozhdichka, to v pi͡atnit͡su nepremenno vygli͡anet solnt͡se, i zhiznʹ, kakoĭ by ona ni byla - uzhe sama po sebe prekrasnai͡a, - obi͡azatelʹno prodolzhitsi͡a.

"Before the Sun on Friday" is the second book by the novelist and playwright Albina Gumerova, which includes stories from different years and a story dedicated to her father. The heroes of this book are united by the hope for a better life, all of them somehow strive for happiness, inner peace, harmony, which they achieve not so much by improving external circumstances, but thanks to the work of the soul. "To live, to preserve a Person in yourself, you need to make the soul work, even plow!"- says Albina Gumerova, reminding us: the soul is beautiful in everyone, the soul is capable of a miracle, of great changes. Only we forgot about it. We do not want to think, to feel, to love, to accept, to humble ourselves, to help our neighbor - and therefore we are deeply unhappy...And even if there is no rain on Thursday, the sun will certainly come out on Friday, and life, whatever it may be - already beautiful in itself - will definitely continue.
