Night violet. Kuprin A.

Alexander Kuprin is one of the most odious authors of the XIX century. His works were criticized for "excessive naturalism" and "heartburning." And now they are part of the Golden Fund of Russian classics. In his youth he changed dozens of professions, which helped him “study the nature of man” well. The characters of his heroes are deep and multi -layered, he is recognizable thanks to his easy style and tongue at the level of feelings.

A collection of stories "Night violet" on a grand scale will dip the reader in the life of small county cities. Under the mask of measured life, serious passions boil there. High ideals break on callousness and selfishness, low -powered vices are hidden behind a beautiful appearance. Love here is not a pure, exalted feeling. No, it clouds the mind, forces the heroes to commit reckless actions - and ultimately breaks fate. No one will remain the same. Even if you stand.

The book includes the stories “Loneliness”, “Lenochka”, “Sea illness” and “Night violet”, as well as the story “Entertaining”, “Sulamif” and “Holy Love”.
