Is certainly a history of the naivety of romanticism and cruelty and indifference to their own soldiers, whom they brought to the square or raised there in chernikovskaya province and some sincere impulse of desire to do better and cynicism , careerism, which sometimes led the desire to do better to totalitarian things possible there, as if yes, its all so complicated, and that makes it interesting, i really like it. Well, a professional artist did it the way i wanted, i cant do it so beautifully, but i did it all myself, numbers, letters, so it will be, yes, yes , of course, yes, yes, yes, thats it, then there will be the next covers, right there there will be new heroes, second book, chronology or types of hero, because here, here, here emperors, generals of the century, then there will probably be scientists, public figures, poets, separately there will be peter i, you know, my first, forgive me, im interrupting you, because all this is curious, my first profession is a scientific editor, and also a literary one, so you can ill criticize a little, well, this principle is not clear, the covers, but the fact that this is specifically about emperors, and will be about some other people, this is not very clear, it could be easily explained, it will be on the store shelf when they are will be, they will be in stand in a row, then everything will be clear, faces will change, probably, this will probably happen, please tell me, the 16th century is just such a start an era from which you feel confident as a historian, because no, you and more were doing early things. This is the time when our country was actually formed in its modern form, multiconfessional, multinational, imperial, but a completely different empire than the european, colonial empires, a completely different type of empire, you know, an empire, which absorbed a new territory, began to date it immediately, usually, and they pulled out all the valuables from there, an empire that was incredibly tolerant and. Not one of these disappeared, no, they all just grew, moreover, all of them from we have grown significantly in numbers, this is a very interesting time with very interesting , bright, beautiful people, well, in conclusion, ill ask you , is it clear where this will be completed, such a difficult question, where by the constituent assembly, or the second world war, or maybe i would really like it for. To be honest before nikolai, because then a very painful time begins , i would really not like these books to cause a bad mood or negative emotions, so that they would bring discord, yes, that they would bring discord, i would like people to understand after reading them, that firstly, everything has already happened, secondly, we need to learn a lot from our ancestors, and thirdly, the point of history is not to step on the same rake again, this will be what is called, what i call a positivist view of history, this is a positivist or maybe like you they correctly said, a positive look, well, so sober, calm, leading to some kind of agreement, but is it right to think that love for the native ashes, love for the graves of the fatherland, on which it has rested from time immemorial, by the will of god himself, is independent. This is the only correct attitude towards your history, thank you very much vladimirovich for the conversation, in our. Podcast in conclusion, i always say my slogan or, to put it in a foreign slogan, read with pleasure, dear friends, until we meet again. Hello, this is a podcast. Definitely to reading, yaglaya obatnikova, my guest today is the writer and poet Alexander Pelevin and film actor daniil muravyov, we will discuss mark twain and his two novels, the adventure of tom sawyer and the adventure of huckleberry fin, sasha, please tell me, tom sawyer and hekel berifin these are very different things, you actually have a hard time believing that this was written by the same writer, these are completely different books, but i just remember my. Childhood impression of them, yes, but about how different they are from each other and even contradict each other in some ways, because when i was, again, i read these books in class in the fifth, it seems, or sixth , i dont remember, honestly, i thought it was true, but in my naivety i thought that the adventure of hecal berifinn was like that continuation of the story of tom sawyer, exactly the same, that is, like tom sawyer, there, haha, the boy spat at the boy, they were all given bream and then they went to their parents, everything is fine, you open hekelna, back, darkness, poverty, crime , murder, violence, slavery, listen, well, tom sawer also has murder, heres daniel, just describe it to tom soeru, thats whats going on there, how did you even see all this when you reread it, for me personally, thomas oers book is exactly about the model of childhood, exactly what it is and why one should approach life, etc. And the people around. Themselves, how valuable they are, how easy it is to lose them, and the main character tom sawyer , he reminded me very much, a mixture of the character from dirk, peter blood, the chronicles of peter blood, only older, roughly speaking, thats it i like the character himself because hes very kind of like hes so big that he can even at some points he looks like he is a very smart person, and he may be incomprehensible to someone, that is, he is just a boy for. Someone, but for some it will be a genius, so i can say this, genius, why, they invent interesting adventures, but the tomsuer is the absolute archetype of a trickster, that is, he deceives everyone, he makes jokes on everyone, hes such a fool , which is always turned on its head, even itself in certain scenes, but in the end something comes from this, either something has some benefit, or is simply over everyone laughs, well, tom sawyer about the tail, but at the same time we understand that in these adventures he reaches a very serious limit, that is, there is. Stories about how he got lost in a cave, that he did not die of hunger with a girl, also, that is, he holds responsibility for this girl, he witnesses a murder, that is, we see that on the one hand this is all, well, jokes, humor , cheerful laughter, yes, on the other hand , we understand that he very often finds himself on the verge of life and death, quite confident in himself i feel in this situation the story, im sorry for breaking the news, the story is that any joker can always make a joke, its like the character in the brothers film said, take the burden with you so that it doesnt get under. When walking, Something Like this, clearly , that is, tom sawyer, he is still a boy from a good family, in general everything is fine with him, he, he is an orphan, he lives with his aunt, but nevertheless, it is clear that this is a good family, and he reads books, he is wonderfully brought up, he lives in love, and one might say, from an excess of vitality, he comes up with all these troubles, yes, and hekel berifin is a tramp, a person who doesnt really have a family, but does. The drunkards father, who sees him as a monk, shouts, why are you young, have learned to read books, now what do you think, youll become smarter than me , yes, yes, yes, your mother, i didnt count, i remembered, in fact, that hamingui is still , said that all American Literature grew out of hekelfin, in this he is absolutely right, and the same hamingway wrote that hekel brefin needs to be read until the moment where the negro jim is stolen from heck. According to khamengue, this is where the real end is, everything the rest is a complete scam, it seems to me that he is right in some ways, because the book is very perishable and gloomy , this is where it could have ended, well , it seems to me that the issues of racism are very relevant there, because the main plot of hekel berifin is that huck is running away from his father, who locked him in a house or some kind of hut , he cant go to school there, well, in general, this is not life, hes running away from his father with them. his murder, yes, what hes chopping up a pig there, i must say, the guy is so strong, he always comes up with very practical ways, yes, of getting out of the situation and then he meets this. Jims are on some island, they are already traveling along the river together, but about, about simulating a murder, its also very interesting, because i literally just a couple of hours ago i found the most obvious parallels between hekelbre fin and the film dead man by cem jermush, by the way, its interesting, you havent seen the film jermushvets, be sure to watch it, its absolutely great, be sure to watch it, thats the point there too, then if you reread this book from the position that huck himself didnt actually stage it his death, but actually died, this turns out to be a journey of a dead man and not just a journey of a dead man, a journey of a dead man in a boat on the river, he is buried along with his guide, the black man jim, who, by the way, knows how to speak with spirits, jim tells fortunes on this hair ball, as if communicating with spirits, this is absolutely history, here by the way, yes, you can also buy dantes divine comedy, just like virgil. One day he was reading dante, and when i asked him to read tom sawyer, i basically, i was told, for me dante is already reading, and you come to him with a childrens book, no why, but tom soyer, i looked at him differently, from the position, as if already inside this book, and it was interesting for me to watch just the same how from a simple situation you can get some kind of super morality , some super emotions and so on, there is a wonderful film about this, its called life is beautiful, but you need to be able to do this and its shown very well in just the same scene with the cave, thats what becky has already lost hope, that shes still lying there like that, still crying, shes already going to die, everything is normal behavior for a girl, in general yes, but then he acted exactly as many people would not have acted, that is, he, from a very, very situation, he did not lose hope and gave this hope to others, this is an indicator of enormous strength, this is an indicator of enormous strength within oneself, by the way, its interesting there, he ties some kind of string to a chip along this string, walks in the dark, when the candles have run out, to understand where the road is next, i mean, this is not just a dreamer boy, who read about adventures from books, he can also practically find some way out in a difficult situation, this. He is related , as they say, life will force you, its not like that , youll get colorful, no, listen, believe me, a lot of people in in a critical situation, they simply fall into catatonia and dont know what to do, and then he takes responsibility for the girl, by the way, lets talk about girls, so i read thomasoer as a child, also hekel berifin, i was more interested then and now, probably hekel berifin because i was its the practical part of his adventures that is interesting, but at the same time, only tom soera has relationships with girls, and for me , perhaps the most interesting thing in childhood was reading about relationships with girls, that is, tom is such a ladies man in general, you can to say, yes, he has a theme of girls, it is open, he has different girlfriends, he somehow moves from one to another, he has some of his own methods of seduction, daniil, please tell me how you saw toms relationship with girls, i will say not only about becky. Ill generally say that tom sawyer is a character who knows how to love and he learns to give love to others, that is , he receives love, he loves to receive, but he also learns to give it away, this is the type of character when you mess up, its just that you do something, and then you sit and think, damn, why did i do this, why, how, where, and so on, quite typical, yes, quite so, so the line of tom sawyer with many guys who thats just it. Hes trying to do something with relationships, well, he can do it, to pretend that he doesnt notice someone there, this is often a theme, there is a story that this is beiki, she was offended by him because she found out that there was some other girl in his life, then after some. That time she begins to take some steps towards reconciliation, but tom pretends that he does not notice her, begins to walk with some other girl, yes, that is, he is engaged in the fact that he will make her jealous, yes, well, in general, he stirs up her interests, i mean, well , lets even start with how he tries to attract attention to the girl, that is, he stands on his head in front of her and tries to throw all sorts of blades of grass, pieces of stones, i dont know, make all sorts of things out of who knows what, and but this is also very typical, we like to show off properly, well, he successfully shows off, that is, becky is in love, everything works out for him, he did everything right, and he is also openminded, so they sit, sit, and he immediately says, i love you, thats all, that too, persistent, he even manages to kiss this the girl that personally me in childhood i was impressed, i would say that this is very confident behavior, okay , daniil, you may have friends who behave this way, honestly, ive met people like that, yes, thats right, mm, i wouldnt say thats exactly right the same, but manipulation yes, for some it suggests, well, theyre forcing you, you like it in that way, not very much, not very much, i know people who behave like this at the age of 30. And there are those who never succeed, yes, haha, and then they sit all their lives, sad, but this is not about you, success awaits you, i think well, wait and see, pentalgin extragel, it contains a special component for better penetration of pain and inflammation into the stomach , pentalgin extragel against pain and inflammation in muscles and joints, ma, mom, mom, stores on Yandex Market and pharmacies, delivery from just 25 minutes , Yandex Market, and also a discount of 525 rubles on the first order of products using a promo code, oh , cashback has arrived, kohl, and it drops for all purchases, dad, tinkov for everything cashback, peak everything, in real money, get a card in tinkov cashback in rubles monthly for any shopping, teens, hes the only one.

This podcast is a must read, im aglaina batnikova, my guests are writer and poet Alexander Pelevin and film actor daniil muravyov. We discuss. Thomas soera and hekel berifina, novels by mark twain, a famous american writer. Hekel berifin meets thomas soyer in the finale, that is, first we see heckelberin in the story about tom sower, then we see tom soer in the story about hekel berifina. And they look very different, because when huck appears in the story about tom, we understand that huck is, well, lets say, such a partner, a buddy, yes, an adventure buddy, he helps, thats what he is. He is the leader, and in the second story, where the adventure of huckleberin, we meet at the end of tomor, who, uh, gladly fits into the adventure that huck offers him, that is, to free the runaway black man who is sitting in the shack, yes, they are both boys pretending to be something other than who they are they are deceiving some aunt, a beautiful woman, too, this is toms aunt, but they pretend that hekel berifin is tom, and tom. That he is a sieve, a cousin, that is, they somehow play everything, a woman believes, and tom begins, a whole series, that is , these adventures that he read in the books, he begins imitates, he forces this negro to drag some kind of millstone, that means in y, so that he would portray a prisoner, write some letters, the black man doesnt know how to write, but tom writes for him, you have to endure it, tom writes some anonymous a letter, farmers come with guns to wait for the attack , which onons, here, they will see what the negro was happening there, that is, there is a full spider of rats, but we have caught up with some animals there and snakes, this is absolutely absolutely, absolutely, it is generally these last chapters, people think that this migor has gone crazy, they say hes crazy, what he did there, he wrote on the blood there, something on the shirts, and thats all, but the most interesting thing is that huck understands that its completely nonfunctional, it doesnt make any sense that this nigga can be just unhook it into the bed and let it go, but yes, there was a very cool episode where they say, listen, there is a very heavy stone, help us carry it, and jim just takes it, lifts the bed, and wraps his chain around his neck. Runs away, takes the stone again, this captivates himself, this also happened, everyone listens to tom, whats interesting, both this negro, and huck himself, yes, they all listen to tom unquestioningly, but it doesnt make any sense, in general, all this story, especially since at the end it turns out that the negro is free, and tom he knew about this because his mistress, negro , wrote him, so to speak, a letter of liberation, and in her will, that is, they just had fun for the sake of fun, yeah, but fun. To be honest, of these two books, i liked tom sawyer more, why . Here it talks about eloquence, love, and about the freedom of your own spirit, in heckelber it talks about freedom, namely your bodily, that you can be anywhere, whenever you want, about love for your loved ones, loneliness, how easy it is to lose them , and about friendship to some extent, how important she is too, and the people around you, how important they are to you. And honestly, at the moment, tom sawyer is closer to me, its his story, but in the book about huckleberry, tom at one point began to irritate me, well, at this moment, which we are discussing, when he began to torment people with his fantasies, why and of course, this is great, this is fun, there he is trying to turn into a game, but here there is a question, as they say about the life of death, here, well, that is a tricker, a trickster is supposed to torment people with his fantasies, tell me the downsides. But its interesting that in huckelbury fina she still has a friendship with a black man, and a black man at that time, i remind you that we are talking about the period of the mid 19th century in america, where there was slavery, and the black man was not considered a person, that is, even to the point that there is a conversation with some auntie, which huck fills in, that he had some kind of accident on the steamboat, he says, the target head exploded there . No one died, he says, well, only one black man died, she says, oh well, none of the people were harmed, another internal monologue after jim was stolen from him , stolen from him, again i emphasize, yes, where he himself is tormented by his conscience, i did something bad, stealing a black man from her mistress, but this one is so good , we need to help him, but i did something bad, but he needs help, he is really tormented by his conscience, trying to somehow get out of that paradox. For him, that a black man for him is a thing, yes, that is, he is a person, yes, and he suddenly, before his eyes, ceases to be a thing, he becomes a person, in this regard, to me its very funny that in recent decades , they have begun to make claims against this book, for the notorious nword, calling the book russian, daniil does not say the nword, daniil, can you explain this somehow, i did not live at that time, but i understand why everything happened there like that, because to some. Extent it was under the influence of some kind of religion and similar things, society just did that, lets look at these horrors of slavery, here, by the way, another fifteenyearold captain, there is a book, just about this one too topic, but i can say this, in our time, at least my exact generation , we calmly communicate without any vices, any boundaries, with other people, i dont have some days just for other people nationality or another race, for example, that is, i communicate with a person. And i see in him a person, no matter who he is, but this is the problematic of huckelberin , something that immediately says that it shows a moral problem, because on the one hand he understands that he loves this black man, but he is friends with him , he is his comrade, he cannot give out there at some point he says that my father is on the raft, he is suffering from smallpox , so that no one gets close to the raft where jim is hiding, but at the same time he perceives this as his crime, he understands that this jim someones thing, hes like. How he is taken away from this slavery. Mark twain was then very much criticized for this book by the generally traditional American Society, which was the southern slave owners, who were accustomed to this order of things. Who is like a black man, that they came down hard on marco twain for this, because how you dare to say that, now mark ten is being attacked for using this word, well, you feel the difference, well, its clear, well , here it goes like this a person showed the truth and he is condemned for it, thats all true, that was also the case lets say with scientists, and they simply changed the opinion of people and the worldview of people to, say, the correct one, to the way it really is, but no one wanted to accept it, but lets say, this is how it is. They invented a telescope, comrade galileo, they didnt accept it, he was told to retract his words that he spoke about worldviews and the model of the universe, but mark twain was friends with nikola tesla, who was also absolutely misunderstood, absolutely, he was also despised, spread rot, hated, he was not given money, nikola tesla , in general, did not see how he turned out right as far as he is valued now, in the Scientific Community and so on, but nevertheless , we know this man, and he is here. For the whole world, he is printed on, in my opinion, serbian banknotes, the man simply overcame society, that is he stopped driving himself into that he is different, that his views are not the same as others, so he stands out from the crowd in the case of tesla, and this is exactly what the main american writers did, starting from mark twain, hemmingway, jack london, jack london from the language of sarval, they were all a little outsiders in American Society, they sympathized with the socialists , for which. Ridiculed by their society and so on, but popularized in the soviet union, by the way, by the way, it was exactly the other way around in the soviet union, there were also writers who and were sent quietly to siberia if they i didnt like something there, what they write is all, well, okay, heres jack london, he went to the gold mines, mark twain also worked in the gold mines, he worked like in shipping, that is, he completely dropped out of school because his family was very poor, and apparently it was hard for him for 12 years, he worked, he knew what he was writing about, yes, he knew what he was writing about, and we feel it, that is, in this hekelber, i understand that every detail is there, there he flooded the shuttle with stones a little lower in the current, so that he could find it later, he caught some kind of fish there a loaf of bread who is looking for a dead man, well, that is, there is a lot of Practical Knowledge that you cant imagine, there is a lot there, the book looks realistic, by the way, in this regard, mark twain, this is quite special in this book, he. Quite an american maxim gorky, especially because, firstly, his significance for American Literature is comparable to the significance of maxim gorkov for our literature, absolutely, it is the same value. Its interesting, maxim gorky, he went to see mark twain, that is after all, mark twain was probably greatly indulged in the soviet union, but his work, yes, since he was for freedom and equality of brotherhood in his works, probably this mattered, he went to america in 1900. Sixth year, as the newspapers wrote then, in order to get money for the russian revolution, it was generally a very sad story, because at first in america they accepted how a revolutionary hero from russia, oppressed, came to us to promote the idea of ​​the russian revolution, and then the American Media persecuted him wildly, they defamed his personal life in every possible way, shouted that we dont need him and so on , well, that is, large American Media magnates saw in bitterness, as supporters of socialism, precisely a threat to their values, mark twain also noticed this, mark twain greatly appreciated grief, gorki also really appreciated him, by the way, i also liked the childhood of maxim gorkovy, and they also came up with all sorts of adventures there, the cutlass, the childhood of maxim gorkovy just the same, here, too, there were dangers that were on the verge of a game, lets just say, she even has the same ears, it seems to me that now children are still not so savvy, lets just say, yes, they dont. but here it is, yes, it depends on the place, on upbringing and on the time, there is by the way, there is also such a stereotype that all modern children do not leave the house, that well, no one plays in the yard now, but i will say for myself that at least in my area, where i live, where i was born, this does not exist, now everyone knows each other, everyone plays with each other calmly live, in the online world and the like, me too i constantly see children playing in the yard, its a myth that all the children are now in the yards, digging in sandboxes, throwing stones at each other, and so on, if they are on the phone, then usually ive visited somewhere there with friends yes, this is a musthave podcast to read , aglaina batnikova is with you, my guests are the writer and poet Alexander Pelevin and film actor daniil muravyov, we are discussing tom soera and hekel berifina, two of the most famous roma. Mark twain, its interesting that mark twain, when thomas oyer started writing, that was everything in seventysix, i think, he released tom sawyer, he first wrote it as an adult book, that is, a book. For adults, and then his friends told him that it turns out that you are a childrens writer, yes, my friend, you are a children s writer, so sash, do you think there is some peculiarity in the perception of mark twain that makes him a childrens writer, because it seems to me that that even the prince is a beggar, and he also has a novel, they are still perceived, probably, as something for youth, but of course, definitely absolutely a childrens book, in my opinion, because it is not written in the first person, but at the same time, yes , but at the same time through the prism of childrens perception, and hekel is the opposite, it is written in the first person, it is written in a very modern way, in the first person, this it looks very, well, its an autofiction, yes, absolutely, absolutely, and so powerful, but on the contrary, it is written in the first person, but through a very adult prism, because gekko, having seen some pain and sadness in his life, he grew up, of course , that is, heckelbrefino is absolutely adult thing, it is probably mature in terms of problematics, that is, it seems to me that these are the moral torments of this huckelberger, when we understand that what christianity does is absolutely true, and this is true, and this is from the point of view of some kind of morality in general, the only true the way that he does not give friends, there he treats the black man as a person, if he deceives, then there is always a reason for this, uh, that is, he does not do it just like that, but at the same time he thinks to himself that he is a great sinner, that he commits crimes, that he is lost man, this is very cool, by the way, this is cool, he believes that he cannot be a leader and cannot adequately come up with something, that is, there were moments where the book says that tom sawyer would see me now, and it seems to me that im worse than tom sawyer and so on, thats where in the episode, and there was another moment, thats where they free jim, and he said, he came up with some kind of plan, he said that well, i now ill come up with some kind of plan, but tom sower always comes up with something better, lays it out and gets it from tom sower approval, and there was even. The line that hes sitting there, like, oh, i didnt expect it, its very funny that when tom sawyer starts helping him in freeing jim, huck stops respecting him, he says, here i am i used to respect tom sawyer, i thought he was such a decent person, educated from a good family, and he helps me steal a black man, i stopped respecting him, and i remembered this parallel with jack london, in the novel by martin eden, the hero strokes, he takes pictures where that room, he is perceived as, relatively speaking, a person of a higher class, the owner of this apartment, and at some point he begins to iron and helps her to iron, she understands that he knows how to do it very well, and he worked in the laundry, and when she saw this, she stopped being important to him, that is, i thought you were a gentleman, but you turn out to be one of our people, and actually, this is a very funny detail, that is, a person ceases to respect another person, realizing that they are on equal positions, this is very funny, that is, i thought. That you are, so to speak, socially superior, but it turns out, brother, people change when they see who man, in fact, this doesnt seem entirely correct to me, that is, they look not at his inner world, not at his soul, but simply at his position, at his actions, at status, yes at status, but mark twain, to me it seems that he is a socialist and this is especially felt when two swindlers appear in huckelbergine, who pretend to be the king and the duke, they simply fall, and these jim and huck, who are traveling on a raft, begin to drink blood from them, that is, they begin to throw hysterics, that i am duke, i need serve food, and huck and jim reason like this, well, so that he calms down, its not difficult for us, please, we will serve him during meals, call him your majesty and so on, but at some point, huck, of course, right away understands that they are scammers, but at some point jim also realizes this, he says, listen, but they are neither a king nor a duke, they look like scammers, three days of sharp eyes, noticed something, but jim is a man, as a conditional, yes, it turns out that he is a rapist, and somehow he doesnt particularly delve into whats going on people for social and hierarchy, and he believes, at first, that this is the king and the duke, but then he shares his suspicions with huck, and huck answers him, believe me, the real king and the duke, they are no different from the real ones, they are exactly the same if you were wondering what else is so wonderful about this book, the fact that through each page jim literally gradually turns from a thing into a person, the perception, again, of a huck and so on, that is, this is precisely the message of the book, i think, because well for america at that time, it was monstrous confused that a black man is a person, that you are suddenly him, the book shows how a person who was previously read as a thing, reasons, thinks, shows some completely human things, uh, emotions and so on, well, when tom was wounded in the leg, g could have run away, but he stayed so that the boy could be saved, this book was essentially such a slap in the face to American Society that its straight. Probably in america now this book is banned, i dont even know, because no, its not banned there, but there they rewrote all sorts of nwords into more politically correct, so that i wonder what kind of African American they are, or Something Like that . I dont know, i can hardly imagine how jim could be called an africanamerican, but by the way, this is very typical of this modern leftist agenda, a struggle with form, a struggle, firstly, rewriting and absolutely superfluous, absolutely unnecessary. And secondly, the fight with the appearance of a fight with form, not content, we will fight with the word, and we will close our eyes to the fact that this book is an absolute manifesto against racism, as if well, yes, and lets say that the book is wrong, thats it, yes, yes, like , guys, you wanted to fight racism, in the end you cross out the Little People from the books, these are slightly different levels, yes, in essence its the same a completely antirussian manifesto, i want to say that i found some interesting details in everyday life, among slaves, for example, i realized that dreadlocks turn out to be, well, there is one black man who sees spirits, nejima, another black man who brings him food, he ties his hair with strings to ward off witches, that is, it turns out he has dreadlocks this is protection from witches, now i know this, by the way, in chinese mythology there is something similar, only they dont use hair , they insert ropes, but they simply weave a huge, roughly speaking, rope rope out of many. And it also protects against spirits. Both books, tom soyer and hekel berifin, they are full of these superstitious signs , you cant touch the skin of a rattlesnake, you have to spit over your shoulder, its very funny, and it enriches, i would say, that is, the culture of another people follow this light, i probably wont touch the skin rattlesnake, where will you find it, lets start with this, well find it, okay, sasha, maybe you want to add something, you said that mark twain, and this is a typical american writer, one of the pillars of American Literature, and what in general, American Literature differs from russian literature, so i have my own opinion , but i wanted to listen to yours, American Literature in general, in my opinion, is more the literature of travel, yes, yes, road movies are like that all the time, its mark twain, and the same jack london and ambrose bierce. Which i i consider it one of the greats, American Literature is, as a rule , for the most part , a journey through the dark side of oneself, this is constantly visible in hemmingue , in the great, in my opinion, lovecraft, this is also there, because lovecraft, i believe, is its just like American Literature, even if its quite tabloid, yes, quite magazine, but i think that lovkraft has simply taken everything from American Literature, from this path. Through the dark sides of myself, hekel berefin this is also where i started the conversation, this is a dark gloomy journey with your guide, who listens to the spirits, from a person who may have died, that is , again, huck, huck is dead, i believe, huck is dead, this is the journey of a dead man, by the way, these are the very moments that slipped through in ggel fina, and its just that American Literature was very much influenced by russian literature, gogol nikolai the dead soul, this is very interesting. When i read it, i really did, i saw the parallels, very strong ones, you mean the chichiks who travel through russia and sees different characters, thats where it also talks about how a person travels, and initially, when i read dead souls, i initially thought that chichikov was the god of death, heres daniel we read, you see, young people, and even the character , lets say, in dead souls there is such a character. In the herald of finland there comes back the episode where they killed the old man boxing, i, unfortunately, right now here i am, if you can just take just a sketch of the american town of this boxing kills some confident just a man from a gun and some girl is running there, this confident man from a gun, he reminds me very much of the same thing, which, by the way
