The adolescence of the architect Naydenov. Ryakhovsky B.

Autobiographical Tale of Boris Ryakhovsky (b. 1937) tells about the post -war childhood in Aktobyubinsk - a city where the lands of the Russian Urals and the Kazakh steppe converge, inhabited by the descendants of the Cossacks and Kazakhs, Kazan Tatars and exiled by the Germans of the Volga region, dispossessed peasants and evacuated Muscovites. Patrota of tribes and cultures, the intersection of the worlds: the attached pray decorations, residents of the district with the speaking name Otorvanovka - and the former prima of the Moscow Chamber Theater or musician (student of Rachmaninov), giving the hero the lessons of the game on the piano standing in the adobe house...

“The adolescence of the architect Naydenov” is almost the only artistic study of several phenomena in Russian literature: here is the poluccal-the city subculture of the pre- and the post-war era, and the “melting boilers” of cultures and peoples similar to the Aktobinsk of the 1940s. But first of all, this is a book about courage, about the reluctance to persuade his head before violence, about the strength of the spirit and about growing personality, i.e. The real “Roman of Education”, published earlier in 1978, in the magazine “New World”, and then filmed by Sergey Solovyov (the film “Alien Belaya and Ryaba”, 1986).
