The Fisher of Men

Studio “MediaKniga” presents an audiobook by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin — the great Russian writer, publicist, and literary critic, screenwriter, engineer — “The Catcher of Men.”

“Most beautiful in life is nonsense, and the most beautiful nonsense is falling in love. In the mist of morning—mist as dreamlike as love—London was dreaming. Pink-milk-colored London drifted by with eyes shut—doesn’t matter where. Light columns of druid temples—only yesterday factory chimneys. Air-cast-iron arches of viaducts: bridges from some unknown island to some unknown island. Neck-bent, unimaginably huge black swan-cranes: now they’ll dive for their quarry at the bottom. Startled, they flashed out to the sun—loud, golden letters: ‘Rolls-Royce, auto’—and went out.

Again—like a quiet, vague circle: lace of sunken towers, wavering cobweb of wires, a slow dance of sleepy tortoise-houses. And a still axis: the gigantic stone phallus of the Trafalgar Column.”

For older school age.
