Gold beetle. Kupriyanov A.

Alexander Kupriyanov - a Moscow writer and writer, editor -in -chief of the newspaper "Evening Moscow". The first part of the story “Golden Beetle”, published separately, was awarded the Awards of the International Book Exhibition for the modern use of the Russian language. Remembering his childhood with genuine names and exact names of geographical places, A. Kupriyanov sees him through the eyes of an adult, specifying the forgotten details, recalling the colors and smells, the speech of the heroes, laying the bridges between the past and the present. As in a kaleidoscope, with a new turn, the mosaic changes, each time remaining magical. Childhood is not always joyful and festive, but it is at this time that people learn, perhaps the most important thing - kindness. This story was written 30 years ago, but once the manuscript was irrevocably lost. Now it is restored taking into account the comments of Viktor Astafyev.
