Ups and downs. Collection of stories. Shcherbina T.

“But how not to give up a hawk circling in the sky, a poisonous creature lurking under the bush, a psycho that came out of the fog, took out a knife from his pocket? Just carefully look out the window overlooking the nearby streets or to the whole big world - the global network window, sit in an ambush and everyone is in their own armed. ” The stories collected in the book of Tatyana Shcherbin are devoted, at first glance, far from each other in the topics: from the memories of perestroika Russia to series and ancient Greek philosophy. However, they are connected by a common goal - an attempt to unravel the course of time, inexorably next from one disaster to another. The heroes of these stories are peculiar mirrors in which you can consider a variety of ways to live difficult times. The author records the most important points of our common and his personal history, then returning to memory several decades ago, then turning his view to the alarming modernity.
