Envy. Olesha Yu.

Yuri Karlovich Olesha (1899 - 1960) in the circle of writers - contemporaries called the "King of Metaphor." Olesha did not know how to write “dark and sluggish”, long and boring, his prose sparkles with brilliant images and aphorisms, almost every paragraph in capacity and completeness is equivalent to the short story. The novel "Envy" (1927) is the peak of Olesha's work and, undoubtedly, one of the peaks of Russian literature of the XX century. The collection also included the stories of Yuri Olesha and the book “Not a day without a line” - diary entries, which, in fact, are a thin and deep essay to a sophisticated stylist and a sensitive person.
