Gorky quest. Volume 3. Marinina A.

Roman quest. Roman test. Roman-renewal!

“Gorky quest” is an incredible experiment to immerse modern young people in the Soviet era of the 70s. To write this work, Alexander Marinin organized the focus groups of modern youth and described their real reactions in the book.

You will learn how the generation Z would behave in the realities of the “developed socialism”.

This novel is for everyone who does not live the present, and who thinks about the future, recalling the past...

Imagine that you were in the USSR. The good old seventies: stability and peace, free education, lunch in the dining room of the ruble, ice cream for 19 kopecks... Dream?! Well, the quest will show...

the organizers selected several guys and girls to participate in a very unusual experiment-traveling in the 1970s. In the house where volunteers are to live, the life of “developed socialism” is completely recreated. They read the plays of Maxim Gorky, eat Soviet products, wear Soviet clothing and waves out of boredom at the Komsomol meetings, devoid of their smartphones and other gadgets. In appearance - just a funny adventure. But why was all this invented? And how will it end for each of them?

“Marina not only writes detective novels, but also answers eternal questions. The author treats his readers as a kind and experienced teacher to students who need support, hint and direction to the right path. Optimistic and practical in his didactics, Marinina poses the question “how to live” and tries to help the reader find his way for a better life in today's world. With his detectives, Marinina writes the modern novel “Education of feelings”: the main goal of the author is to educate through entertainment. ” - Anatoly Vishevsky, Grinelles College, USA

“Many of Alexandra Marinina’s novels in Russia are filmed, and in Germany they were processed into radio pes. Based on the fact that the purpose of these processings is to capture the audience and listeners in the same way as the readers are captured, the film and radio peses are not only additional artistic works, but also interesting interpretations that have penetrated the secret of the success of Alexandra Marinina. ” - Sarah Haigi, Cologne University, Germany

“In the dialogues of artistic and trivial literature, different ways of stylizing“ orality ”can be found to achieve the impression of a spontaneous conversation. Handering speech in A. Marinina’s novels is distinguished by an unusually high degree of lively, which is expressed, by the way, in different forms of circulation of interlocutors, in various shades of politeness and in the emotionality of the vocabulary used. ” - Wolfgang Stadler, University named after Leopold Franzen, Innsbruck, Austria
