Natalia Gromova - writer, playwright, author of books about the literary life of the twenties and thirties, the war and postwar years: "Knot. Poets. Friendships and Breaks", "Decay. The fate of the Soviet critic." , "Evacuation goes..." All of Gromova's books are based on extensive archival materials and stories of real people - witnesses of the time.
"Wanderers of War" - a set of memories of teenagers forties - children of writers - from the first days of the war were in evacuation in the boarding school Litfond in Chistopolis. They will starve, freeze and dream of returning to Moscow (they thought - will return before winter, but stayed for three years!), experience the death of older brothers and parents, run to the front .... But it was also the time of their first love, the beginning of friendship, which, like Pushkin's, the Lyceum, was preserved for the rest of their lives. The book is unique in that the authors recall that childhood perception of life on the edge of common misfortune. Each story is a separate fate. Among others - the fates of three young men who died: Georgy Efron, son of Marina Tsvetaeva, Nikita Shklovsky, Vsevolod Bagritsky; stories about meeting Boris Pasternak, how twelve-year-old children caught deserters or how on the new year of 1942 organized a holiday with a real Christmas tree! The book is illustrated with unique family photographs and an expanded index of names.
