For the first time in Russian, the famous Archibald Cronin dilogy!
"A song of six pence and a pocket of wheat" - the first two lines of the famous English song, as well as the titles of no less famous two works by Archibald Cronin, created in the best traditions of "novels of education" Dickens, Balzac and Flaubert. The story about the fate of a young boy from Scotland, dreamy, ambitious and naive reflected many autobiographical facts from the author's life. About his adventures, victories and defeats, losses and gains, loves and disappointments Cronin tells with warm humor and with that heartfelt, evoking sympathy and empathy realism, which distinguishes his original creative handwriting.
The reader will find here the same bright narrative gift, which marked and other novels of the author, which have become modern classics, such as "Brodie's Castle", "The Stars Are Looking Down", "Citadel" and many others.
