Bird. Arkatova A.

The collection "Bird" of the popular poet Anna Arkatova includes realistic stories, vital and relatives of the modern reader. Each of the characters - whether it be friends, relatives, classmates of the author or just acquaintances - his own, special fate, which is far from always developing "according to the script." Life is full of unexpected turns, hopes and disappointments, domestic difficulties and little joys. But through the fabric of life, the sunny basis of existence shines through - after all, the prose of Arkatova is through the poetic, avoids gloomy severity, hopelessness and stuffiness. On the contrary, it has a lot of air and an open space: modern Moscow, Riga from the Soviet past, and unique European cities are a place of action. Under the author’s insightful gaze, the heroes can enter into a relationship, be surprised, worried, travel or simply dream with the reader about a small Italian farm with picturesque vineyards or “ringing rash over the cardiogram of the Swiss Alps.”
