Zapisnye knizhki - Dovlatov Sergei Donatovich

The artistic thought of Sergei Dovlatov with a visible paradox, justified life experience, is simple and noble: to tell how strange people live - then laughing sadly, then ridiculously sad. There are no righteous people in his books, because there are no villains in them. The writer knows that both heaven and hell are within us. In Russia, Dovlatov is one of the most consistently read authors. His prose is staged, filmed, studied in school and universities, translated into basic European and Japanese.
Notebooks ("Solo on Underwood" and "Solo on IUM") are the basis of Dovlatov's work. A collection of funny and sad phrases, situations, images, at different times seen, heard, marked by the writer. Reading this book, you enter Dovlatov's workshop. And this, perhaps, it is more valuable than other, most famous of his works.
