Книга: Yerofeev Venedikt «Moscow Stations»

Производитель: "Faber and Faber"

Moscow Stations, Venedikt Yerofeev`s autobiographical novel, is in many ways the successor to Gogol`s Dead Souls. The two works are comic historical bookends, with Gogol`s novel portraying the sloth and corruption of feudal Russia and Yerofeev`s novel portraying the sloth and corruption of feudal Communism. The truth is that while the streets of Moscow may be clogged with Volvos and Mercedes sedans these days - in keeping with the new capitalism - the anguish and dissipation of the late, coruscating empire are still the real fact of life for most people. Moscow Stations remains a lesson in the current events of the Russian soul. The novel is a mixture of high, drunken comedy - a portrait of a soul filled with wisdom and pickled in Hunter`s vodka who spends his days traipsing around Moscow but has never once seen the Kremlin. With this cheerful admission we are off on a hallucinatory ride through the increasingly desperate mind of Venedikt Yerofeev. He once remarked that Moscow Stations was`ninety pages of funny stuff and ten pages of sad stuff`but it is mostly about a clear-eyed man who can still say, no matter how much he has drunk: I, who have consumed so much that I`ve lost track of how much, and in what order - I`m the soberest man in the world.
