The most original, unusual author of the XNUMXth century. This is no exaggeration when we talk about Platonov. And the most mysterious, the most unknown. Platonov seems to open other worlds, immerses us into the very matter of existence, into the depths of language. It transforms the Universe before our eyes, makes time and the flow of life in time material, tangible.
The most original, unusual author of the 1920th century. This is no exaggeration when we talk about Platonov. And the most mysterious, the most unknown. Platonov seems to open other worlds, immerses us into the very matter of existence, into the depths of language. It transforms the Universe before our eyes, makes time and the flow of life in time material, tangible. He is a sculptor — solid and heavy, as a real sculptor should be. He does not paint so much as sculpts the amazing world of his novels and short stories. Platonov cannot simply be read. He makes himself worry. He «loads» the reader with his contemplation. And of course, his prose is a serious burden. Lightness and Platonov are antonyms. This collection of his works is the first most complete and not distorted by censorship. Three volumes out of eight being prepared have been published. Moreover, each book can be purchased separately. If you want — novels («Pit» and «Chevengur»), if you want — stories and poems of the XNUMXs, if you want — novels («Ethereal Path»). But still it is more pleasant to hold all three books in your hands.
