Twenty Crazy Men


Book Description

Twenty Crazy Men (The Autumn of the Patriarch*) Warning! Try on the metaphors for strength and the epithets for charm. There are three suicides in Lithuania every day. This novel is an escape from the chronic disease. You trust in me as in a female mammoth. Well, you are correct. The smart people prefer the ballet of prose. You can become a star of prose when you start dreaming about being a writer at the age of six. Napolon had the same desire, the dream of the truncated head and violence of words. As Napolon said, Every soldier of my army is carrying a marshals staff in his backpack. Waterloo. The situation is changing every second. This ballet of prose with an allusion to Mrquez will not fall into the nettles. We slowly came to a conclusion that this novel might be inferior, but it will carry the same feature of Mrquez. I met Mrquez at Moscow Film Festival twice. We took a picture together there. And he said Take it and use it when I praised his title The Autumn of the Patriarch. I had his permission to take it but after his death. Well, it was still a green light. Mrquez gave me permission, just as a priest might. You are either self-critical or dead. The goal is to be a person who can evaluate his problems, controlled by the talented psychiatrist. Its important to trust that the solution to paranoia will be invented. One cannot lose their faith. We will record it in the book of the rules for the best prose player. There are no wrong medicines, no wrong methodology. You only need to hit the top ten.

Twenty Years in a Siberian Gulag


Book Description

Caught up in one of the many purges that swept the Soviet Union during the Great Terror, Leonid Petrovich Bolotov (1906-1987) was one of 86 engineers arrested at Leningrad's Red Triangle Rubber Factory and sent to the Gulag as "enemies of the people." He would be the only one to survive and return to his family after enduring two decades in the infamous Kolyma labor camps. Translated into English and published here for the first time, Bolotov's memoir narrates with growing intensity his arrest, imprisonment and interrogation, his "confession" and trial, his exile to hard labor in Arctic Siberia, and his rehabilitation in 1956 following the official end of Stalin's personality cult.
