A horse with a pink mane. Astafiev V.

Viktor Petrovich Astafyev (1924-2001)-a Russian writer who sincerely loved his homeland. His works are imbued with pain and bitter memories, suffering because people live unrighteously, destroy nature and themselves, and their souls. They force our souls to work, temper them, teach us to appreciate the happy moments of life, distinguish good and evil, see the meanness and not be afraid to call black - black. About friends and relatives, about the writer's beloved grandmother. You read them - and you see the world of real life, without embellishment, without a winding... And after reading, you involuntarily think about it: do we live like this?
