The book is read by a well-known theater actor and film actor — Mikhail Roslyakov.
«Sunday. At the brickworks of the merchant Poeremin, they don’t work. It’s nearing noon; after lunch, the workers, en masse, poured out through the gates to the bank of the river where the plant is located. Here are even the “strawberry pickers,” here are the “inspectors” with the “inspectoresses,” here are the kiln men who keep watch by the kilns, here are the firing crews—one could say, all the ranks of the plant. There are even children, boys about twelve years old, who serve as drivers of the horses at the mills where the clay is ground. There are about a quarter women. Some are young, some are old. Noise, chatter—what you hear is a rich, many-tiered swearing that spills into every note, varied in every way, declined and conjugated in all cases, tenses, and voices.»
