Is there a more hopeless task than convincing a teenager to clean his room? Leonid Kostyukov — prose writer and poet, columnist for Psychologies — wrote an unusual book about home economics. Addressing the reader as a good friend, in his own way, but respectfully, telling stories from life and citing funny, grotesque examples, the writer brings him to an understanding of simple things. And it becomes clear why it is better not to turn your room into a dump, why learn to cook (and not make do with cold sandwiches if adults are not at home), help your parents shop and even put patches on your torn pants. It also cannot do without a practical guide — the book contains recipes for simple dishes, and recommendations on how to plan, polish, sew … and, of course, carry out a general cleaning.
