Description
“The Adventures of Major Zvyagin” is an unusual novel. Actually, Zvyagin isn’t really a major. He’s retired. And it’s not really an action thriller. And even more so, it’s not an action thriller at all.
And it’s not quite an adventure story either. It is a science of how to win in life. Zvyagin is the kind of hero everyone dreams of meeting in a difficult hour. He’ll offer a reliable shoulder and resolve any situation. The murderer is destroyed. Love becomes mutual. Bad luck is overcome. And even the eternal question about the meaning of life finds a clear answer.
There used to be a genre called “bildungsroman” (a novel of upbringing). This is a textbook of success. Without magic, without advertising and baiting. If a person wants, then everything is possible. A loser can become a winner. A plain girl can become beautiful. An unhappy lover can become beloved. The main thing is to want, to believe in yourself, and also to know what to do and how to do it. That’s Zvyagin—a mixture of Robin Hood and an ancient sage: he always knows what to do, and he makes other people do it—for their own happiness. And the rulebook “How to win the woman you love” Moscow students just hung in their dorm rooms.
This wonderful book contains many secrets—and all of them are revealed in surprisingly simple ways.
