Live and remember. Rasputin V.

“The sad and fierce story, somewhat“ insinuating ”with its quiet tonality, like all other novels by Rasputin, and therefore even more amazing deep tragedy,” V. Astafyev wrote about the story of V. Rasputin “Live and Remember” (1974 ). The book was perceived by criticism as a work about a war that tries to a man “on a break”, about a deserter who, after the hospital, could not force himself to look into the eyes of death again, but for the author himself the image of the main character, nastena, simple and mysterious as dark were more important The waters of the hangars, beckoning it with the ringing of “thousands of bells”. The story “Live and Remember” was published in the journal “Our Contemporary”, subsequently repeatedly reprinted, translated into many languages. This edition also presents the stories of V. Rasputin, written in different years of life: “French Lessons”, “Live - Love Age”, etc.
