Description
“Fathers and Sons”… You think that’s the problem? “Grandmothers and Grandchildren”—that’s the real problem! Can you raise a child if loving grandparents are nearby? The funny and dramatic novella by Evgeny Dubrovin offers a rather unusual recipe…
From the performer:
The books of the Voronezh writer Evgeny Dubrovin are now undeservedly forgotten. But I remember how we devoured them—“The Silly Tale” was my older brother’s favorite book. It was always funny, and often sad, especially “Waiting for the Goat”… Evgeny Dubrovin worked for a reason as the chief editor of “Krokodil”—he understood humor.
Today “The Tale” at first reminded me of “Bury Me Behind the Skirting Board,” as if written by Eduard Uspensky. And even before “Cheburashka,” in the era when the hottest novelty in the auto industry was the “Moskvich-412.” But gradually, the tone of the narration changed, and a completely different voice began speaking about things that matter—and often are not at all funny.
Of course, it’s pleasant to recognize the places described: at the “Bar’s—Graf’s” reserve, my pioneer years took place too. I saw then both beavers and boars (part of these forests perished in the fires of that summer)… And the smell of synthetic rubber from the factory still covers the entire Left Bank… Well, that’s something. But what’s pleasant is that the book is alive to this day, and I hope that new and old generations will still laugh and think about the adventures of its heroes. I hope…
