It was a long time ago. Diaries. Memories. Travels
14.99 €
Before you is a book in two parts, united by the theme of wanderings.
The first part is a diary of a stranger from the Silver Age about a trip to Europe. A special way of thinking, language, and perception of everyday life are perfectly captured in this fragment of the past and are especially acutely perceived a hundred years later, when life, morals, speech, and perception of the world have changed so much. When, why, and why this diary ended up in the actress’s house, what is the meaning and secret of its incompleteness and anonymity - we can only guess.
The second part is travel notes and diaries of Alla Demidova herself, stories about her trips, meetings with interesting people, and work with outstanding directors.
The combination of an anonymous text from a century ago with the living impressions of our contemporaries not only connects eras torn apart by history, but also makes us look differently at many already familiar and well-known places, things, and phenomena. Time cannot be stopped, but it can be recorded.
