Corridor. Kaledin Sergey Evgenievich

The books of Sergei Kaledin were published in large circulations, translated into many languages, the film was shot according to the novel “The Smiry Cemetery” and the performance was staged in “Contemporary”, the story “Stroybat” Lev Dodin turned into the famous play “Gaudeamus”, which passed through many theaters of the world. The new book of the famous writer is a combination of a “corridor” written more than thirty years ago and the updated novel with today's presentation of a family saga. Truthfully and excitingly telling about himself, relatives, friends, neighbors, Kaledin generously gives the description with accurate details, which creates a sense of the reader’s personal presence next to the heroes of the story, recognition of events-and the family saga becomes a documentary and art history of the country's life over more than more than a hundred years. According to Alexander Kabakov, Kaledin “described his loved ones, but it turned out that all of humanity.”
