About the book: 2006 / The novel consists of two parts. The first is a real passionate, incredibly beautiful and seemingly unique love between a 50-year-old university professor and his 20-year-old student. A poem of love! The second is a continuation of this same love, but at the level of farce, parody, painful mutual torture of the heroes. Agony, betrayal of love! Almost the entire text is presented in the form of email correspondence between Alexey Alekseevich Domashnev and Alina, and these emails recreate and draw a love story, convey the feelings and thoughts of the characters as reliably and sincerely as possible, in them, in these emails, a confessional the frankness of the narration sometimes reaches a shocking limit... But at the same time, with the seemingly complete frankness and openness of this (electronic-epistolary) form, there is a natural reticence, fragmentation, punctuation in it, which gives free rein to the reader’s imagination, awakens and spurs his ability to conjecture, co-creation, guessing... It is the fact that the novel “Lupof” is based on genuine email correspondence that gives it such authenticity and vitality. And most importantly, this novel is ABOUT LOVE. Is it possible between people of different generations with an age difference of three decades for true love to break out? Can she be happy? What does love-passion turn into, is it reborn - into love-tenderness or love-hate? Can love be “comfortable”? Which of the two is to blame and is it to blame if the feeling dies? Is it possible to kill love? Is it possible to survive the collapse of love and continue to live and exist? What is betrayal in love? Is it possible to love two people at the same time and equally passionately? Who is the object and who is the subject of betrayal in a love triangle? Does a person who has fallen out of love still have any obligations to the one whom he has stopped loving? “I will love you until the day I die!” Is this an oath or just traditional words of duty? What, love is tap water: turn the tap and open it - it flows, close the tap - it runs out?.. As it should be in literature, the author poses questions. The answers are left to the reader to find. And not only in the book, but also after looking into my own soul, into my own life after reading the novel “Lyupof”.
