Once upon a time, an old Parisian janitor saved up the dust he swept out of the jewelry workshops year after year. One day, the precious grains of gold he collected were enough for a lovely rose, a gift for a woman he had known as a child. This poignant story struck Paustovsky with its similarity to writing, which also gives birth to something beautiful from the dust of meetings and partings, wanderings and travels, other people's faces and stories. Thus begins The Golden Rose, an unusual and unparalleled stylistic work in Russian literature, a deeply original work in which autobiographical motifs mix easily and naturally with fictionalized-biographical motifs, and essayistic motifs with philosophical ones.
