Life after death. 8 + 8. Compiled by Bermetova I.

The collection includes eight stories of modern Chinese writers and eight - Russian. The theme of life after death is revealed by the authors, first of all, not as a transition to another world or reasoning about immortality, but as “a detailed metaphor for everyday life, when one or another fatal act or inaction leads to death - whether spiritual, spiritual, but partial death. And the more you peer into the world, which reveals different in the worldview, style, aesthetic addictions of the work, the more the evidence of roll -calls, the conjugation of two different cultures ”(Irina Barmetova) arises. The idea of ​​this meaningful and generally permanent literary dialogue is proposed by the Beijing Publishing House "People's Literature" (People's Literature Publishing House, China) and is supported by the Publishing House "Time". The collection "Life after death" is published simultaneously in two languages.
