The Life of Denis Korablyov. Philology Department and Beyond: An Autobio-Novel with Explanations
19.99 €
Denis Dragunsky is a writer, journalist, and author.
This book is a sequel to the bestseller "The Real Life of Denis Korablyov." There, the story ends with his admission to the University's classical philology department. Here is everything that happened afterward: legendary professors, fellow students, a construction brigade and "potatoes," Latin and Greek, libraries and Byzantine manuscripts, parties, and, of course, romances, love affairs, and betrayals. An utterly (and often, infinitely) sincere account of myself.
Even if I were friends with wizards, I no longer want to go back, as I sometimes dreamed of in my youth. I don't want Kira to return my love, or Comrade Protopopov to return my references for graduate school. Because then I would have had a completely different life. Not mine, but that of this twenty-three-year-old boy—extended to seventy-five. Thank you, but no thanks.
The autobio-novel takes place in the distant 1960s and 1970s, so each part is accompanied by a dictionary with explanations of what a string bag, agitation poster, blat, bug, pushkach are—and so on and so forth.
