Lydia Chukovskaya (1907-1996) was a novelist, poet, essayist, literary critic and memoirist. Author of the books "Notes on Anna Akhmatova", "In the Editor's Laboratory", "Byloi i dumy" Herzen", "Memories of Childhood", "On This Side of Death" and others.
This edition includes three cherished books by Lydia Chukovskaya. Two are fiction and one is a documentary. The very fact of writing the first of them - on the border of 1939 and 1940 - seems a real miracle. These stories seem to "grow" one from the other and "sprout" into each other: before us - a kind of box with a triple bottom, a high and tragic triptych, a symphony of classical prose. Rereading "Sophia Petrovna", "Descent Under Water" and the unfinished "The Dash", - I can not help thinking about what the only writer-companion can find another indifferent reader. Pavel Kryuchkov, literary critic.
