Fascinated by the Yenisei. Tarkovsky M.

The new book of the famous Russian writer Mikhail Tarkovsky included both the first published and his early little -known novels written at the turn of the century: “From a Height” and “Nineteen Letters”, as well as the novel “Condromo”, which, according to the author , became an attempt to show in the artistic image the image of the Yenisei Siberia, to show its beauty and secret. The new story “Living Miles” opens the book. This autobiographical narrative seems to precede the subsequent content of the book. The action of the “living verst” began in 1974 in Tuva, where the writer worked after the ninth grade in the anti -fuel expedition and where, at first glance on the Sayan mountains, he remained forever fascinated by the Yenisei.
