  • MediaDB / «During a snowstorm" Alexander Smolyan: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 1969 / ...Here there are stories about an old St. Petersburg house and about first love, about Ural builders and about a girl from Bialystok, about skiers, about American engineer, about the rapids on Kumma-joki, and even about a bear that I happened to meet. There are a few more stories. Some of them are copied from life - these are, as they said in the old days, “true stories”; others are science fiction. However, don’t you think that fantasy often carries within itself that very share of truth that the most believable everyday prose sometimes lacks? A. Smolyan
