About the book: 2017 / Correspondence of Inna Lisnyanskaya and Elena Makarova - a document of the era. This is not just correspondence between a daughter and mother, separated by circumstances by thousands of kilometers and many state borders. These are letters against the backdrop of new world cataclysms. And against the background of the old ones too. Because with their very work, with their creativity, both pushed the boundaries of modernity. This unites them. What distinguishes it is what existentialists once called human behavior in the face of disasters. The wonderful Russian poet Inna Lisnyanskaya, staying in Peredelkino near Moscow, describes in detail and poetically everything that happened to Russia during the era of change. The wonderful prose writer Elena Makarova, living in Jerusalem, but having actually become a person of the world, is trying to comprehend not only modernity, but also to understand the kaleidoscope of a rapidly changing world.
