Description
This amazing audiobook will be of interest to those who want to remember their childhood—and to those who didn’t live through that time but want to understand what it was really like—the "Sovdetstvo."
The new book by the well-known Russian writer Yuri Polyakov, "Sovdetstvo," offers a unique chance to look at Moscow life of distant 1968 through the eyes of a twelve-year-old Soviet boy—observant, well-read, mocking, yet sincerely expecting the arrival of a bright communist future.
The author masterfully restores, in the smallest details, that long-gone world—with its selflessness, sense of camaraderie, and sincere faith in justice, goodness, and equality, despite the occasional remaining shortcomings.
It’s no accident that the new work has the subtitle "a book about a bright past." As always, the listener will meet Yuri Polyakov’s unique style—precise, elegant, vivid, filled with subtle irony.
