Six pence and wheat pocket. Kronin A.

For the first time in Russian, the famous dilogy of Archibald Kronin! ”Song of six pence and wheat pocket” are the first two lines of the famous English song, as well as the names of the no less well -known two works of Archibald Kronin, created in the best traditions of the “novels of education” of Dickens, Balzac and Flaubert. The story of the fate of a young man from Scotland, dreamy, ambitious and naive reflected many autobiographical facts from the life of the author. Kronin tells about his adventures, victories and defeats, losses and acquisitions, loves and disappointments with warm humor and that penetrating, causing sympathy and empathy with realism, which distinguishes his original creative handwriting. The reader will meet here the same bright narrative gift, which marked the other novels of the author, who have become modern classics, such as “Brody Castle”, “Stars look down”, “Citadel” and many others.
