Bonjorno, commandant! Rubin D.

Rome, Amsterdam, Provence, Heidelberg... Lucky for those cities and towns that healed in the prose of Dina Rubina with an independent life! They will remain in the memory of readers forever. Even those who did not have to see these spaces with their own eyes. D. Rubina's stories about traveling are not ordinary traverse. Attention in them is not concentrated on the transfer of cultural monuments. These are always stories about the fate of people through which the genius of the place is discovered. The image of Mrs. Van Lowe, who did not want “awards for fate” (“School of Light”), exposes the harsh and noble character of the inhabitants of Delft no less than small and large Dutch in his museums. The legend of the family of Maria, who revived the villa “consolation” (villa “consolation”), speaks of the faith of Italians in rock clearer than the remains of Pompey.
