Night and Day

Abdulhamid Sulaymon o’g’li Cho’lpon

Night and Day

Night and Day (1934), an unfinished dilogy by Uzbek author Abdulhamid Sulaymon o’g’li Cho’lpon, gives readers a glimpse into the everyday struggles of men and women in Russian imperial Turkestan. More than just historical prose, Cho’lpon’s magnum opus reads as poetic elegy and turns on dramatic irony. Though Night , the first and only extant book of the dilogy, depicts the terrible fate of a young girl condemned to marry a sexual glutton, nothing is what it seems. Readers find themselves...

The Duel and Other Stories

Anton Tchekhov

The Duel and Other Stories

It was eight o'clock in the morning—the time when the officers, the local officials, and the visitors usually took their morning dip in the sea after the hot, stifling night, and then went into the pavilion to drink tea or coffee. Ivan Andreitch Laevsky, a thin, fair young man of twenty-eight, wearing the cap of a clerk in the Ministry of Finance and with slippers on his feet, coming down to bathe, found a number of acquaintances on the beach, and among them his friend...

Пир

Владимир Сорокин

Пир

Особое отношение к кухне и трапезе пронизывает все книги Владимира Сорокина, но только в “Пире” тема еды является центральной и раскрыта всесторонне. Овеществление метафоры – излюбленный авторский прием – как нельзя лучше походит для исследования культурного и символического смысла голода и насыщения. Сквозь призму еды автор разглядывает человеческие отношения и страсти, классические произведения и традиционные стили русской литературы, прошедшую историю и утопическое будущее. В книгу вошли...

О тараканах

Максим Горький

О тараканах

На песчаном холме, на фоне темносинего неба – мохнатая сосна, вся в звездах; под сосною рыжеватый, ржавый валун; сосна как-будто растет из камня – цветок его. За холмом – озеро; в гладко отшлифованной воде шевелятся золотыми тараканами отражения утонувших звезд. Вдали, в плотной тьме воды и воздуха, – зубчатые, желтые трещины, – огни невидимого города. У камня, на небольшой кучке золотых углей, качаются оранжевые огоньки, освещая ноги в сапогах из листового железа, ноги бородатого человека в...
