About the book: 2024 / Malcolm Lowry had a rather difficult but eventful life. The writer traveled a lot around the world, and the adventures, trials and travels he experienced often served as sources of ideas for his stories. Lauri’s prose intertwines stories about the happiness of love and the beauties of nature, about the fleeting nature of life and the hardships of being on earth; it is distinguished by the poignancy of the plots and the brightness, colorfulness and imagery of the descriptions. Like most of the author’s work, the collection “Hear Us, God” was published after Lauri's death. Some of the stories in the collection were published back in Soviet times, but only now all the works are collected under one cover for the first time, and “Through the Panama Canal”, “Elephant and Colosseum” and “Pompeii” are published in Russian for the first time.
