Poezd na tret'em puti - Don-Aminado

Don-Aminodoy - Aminad Petrovich Shpolyansky (1888-1957) - a wonderful poet and novelist, in the words of I.A. Bunin - "one of the most outstanding Russian humorists, the lines of which give artistic pleasure." But the memoir "Train on the Third Way" written at the end of life is a serious, even sad book, because it is imbued with nostalgia for the lost Russia, from where the author was forced to emigrate in 1920. They resurrect the life of the Russian province of the early 20th century, full of charm life of literary and theatrical Moscow of the tenth years and the despaired existence of Russian emigrants in a beautiful and yet alien to them Paris.
The memoirs are supplemented by selected aphorisms of the writer, both included in his books, and scattered on the pages of the periodical press.
