Mysterious Passion. A Novel about the Sixties
29.99 €
You have never read such an unexpected, exciting, ironic, sometimes even evil work about the generation of the sixties. It is believed that the 60's - it's a thaw. But Aksyonov writes about how muzzled the intelligentsia, how they tried to crush or feed it. The heroes of "The Mysterious Passion" have fictitious names, but behind them we can easily guess real people whom everyone knows very well: Robert Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrei Voznesensky, Bulat Okudzhava, Bella Akhmadulina, Vladimir Vysotsky, Ernst Neizvestny, Andrei Tarkovsky, Vasily Aksyonov himself. This gives the narrative a certain scandalousness. You can guarantee that the attitude to certain famous personalities after the novel readers will change. Such books about the sixties has not yet been. Struggle, betrayal, love - through it all went through the heroes of "Mysterious Passion". About some Aksenov tells with obvious love and sympathy, about others - with unconcealed irony. Individual chapters of the novel were published on the pages of the magazine "Caravan Stories Collection", which publishes the publishing house "Seven Days". Now, for the first time, readers will be able to enjoy the book in its entirety.
