Aleksin Anatoly Georgievich (real name Goberman), Russian prose writer, playwright.
Born August 3, 1924 in Moscow, in the family of an active participant in the Civil War, repressed in 1937. As a child, he appeared in the pioneer press with poetry (collected in the book Rozhok, 1951; together with S. Baruzdin). During the Great Patriotic War, he worked at a construction site; in 1950 he graduated from the Indian branch of the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies. At the same time he published a collection of novellas Thirty-one days, approved by K.G. Paustovsky and immediately identified Aleksin as the creator of the so-called. "A youthful tale".
Numerous works of Aleksin (stories by Sasha and Shura, 1956; Unusual adventures of Seva Kotlov, 1958; Says the seventh floor, 1959; Kolya writes to Ole, Olya writes to Kolya, 1965; Late child, 1968, etc.) are spontaneous and lifelike, not devoid of melodramaticism and sentimentality, presented, as a rule, in the first person, narratives about the collision of children and adolescents with the world of adults.
One of my favourite books as an angsty preteen; it evoked in me such strong feelings of sadness, anger and helplessness. I'm partially scared of rereading these stories now - there's a good chance I'll dislike them and I wouldn't want my memories of the book ruined by any new impressions.
