About the book: 2019 / To truly love our homeland, while living in its very middle (not to say depth), is not an easy matter, I wrote as - Galina Yuzefovich about the author whose book you are holding in your hands now. And every year and with every book published, this thought becomes more and more true and - sad? specialty, loving chemistry, and not too trusting writing as a craft that can feed us in our homes. If about Claude Monet we can say that he paints light, about Mikhail Bara we can say that he paints silence. In any case, when you read his miniatures, the white noise that accompanies you all your life fades away as you go, you begin to breathe deeper and it’s as if you are immersed in a light and warm blanket. A dacha, a village, a stove - and a recipe for mountain ash, a summer evening in the city, special museum old ladies - and then a story about what would have happened if Alexander Sergeevich had married Anna Nikolaevna... A journey that can start at any moment and from any place.
