Description
A collection of stories by Alexander Bogatyrev, a regular author of the site “Pravoslavie.ru.” Written in a vivid, figurative style and with kind, warm humor. But here there is no desire at any cost to make the reader laugh. Instead, it presents a paradoxical portrayal of the phenomena of our life—one that helps you think about the essence of what is happening.
The main idea of the book: where a person rejects God, life turns into a meaningless race after the phantoms of wealth, fame, and pleasures—leading inevitably to a dead end and personal tragedies. Bogatyrev’s prose is at once documentary and artistic, and that is its great merit.
