Russian forest. Leonov L.

The poetic myth of the unity of the world in which a person gains happiness, only realizing himself part of it, “crumb” and “epics”, and trusting the main law of nature - the law of the mysterious connection of all living things on earth, the law of memory of distant and close ancestors... Leonid Leonov’s novel “Russian Forest” (1953), despite the hot disputes that he called, was almost immediately recognized as one of the most significant works of Russian literature and to this day remains in its “gold fund”. “One of the main Russian writers of the 21st century” (DM Bykov), modern critics, whose books are still waiting for their reader, call Leonov as a thinker.
