Maya Kucherskaya - novelist, philologist, author of the books "Aunt Motya", "You were very different", "Lament for the departed art teacher", "Rain God", as well as the biography "Leskov. A Prominent Genius." Creator of the Literary Mastery program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and Creative Writing School writing workshops. "Modern Paterik" is a collection of funny and sad, funny and touching stories from the life of modern Orthodox Christians. Stories whose plots and language trace the traditions of Leskov and Boccaccio, stylizations of sermons, magic fairy tales, playing "scary stories" from children's folklore... "The real (for example, Kievo-Pechersk) Paterik is a genre completely serious and documentary. And its goals are high - to bring a person to God. This collection should be numbered in another department - the department of fine literature. Yes, some historical characters are present here, but even about them the author tells tall tales. And those who by all means would like to find in a remote Russian province mink Orthodox hedgehog or try miracle apples from the garden grown by angels, I'm afraid, will not be easy". Maya Kucherskaya
