Description
The ARDIS studio presents Alexander Grin’s novella "Crimson Sails" performed by Dmitry Bykov—a talented modern prose writer, poet, publicist, and literary scholar.
"Crimson Sails" is a fairy tale-feerie about unshakable faith and a transcending, triumphant dream—about the idea that miracles are created by one’s own hands.
The audiobook also includes a lecture—an engaging talk by Dmitry Bykov about the novella that has just been read.
"Crimson Sails" is Alexander Grin’s magical feerie about unshakable faith and an all-conquering, lofty dream—about the fact that everyone can do for a loved one a miracle. Written in 1916–1922.
In 1955, in the book "The Golden Rose," Konstantin Paustovsky assessed the significance of the novella as follows: "If Grin had died, leaving us only one of his prose poems 'Crimson Sails,' that would still be enough to place him among the remarkable writers—those who urge the human heart toward perfection"[1].
The novella has been translated into English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Vietnamese.
