К нам едет Пересвет

Rate this book
Захар Прилепин - самый модный молодой прозаик, лауреат литературных премий, среди которых "Национальный бестселлер", "Супернацбест" и "Ясная Поляна"; публицист, журналист и телеведущий. В книге "К нам едет Пересвет" собраны лучшие эссе Захара - как хорошо известные читателю, так и не публиковавшиеся ранее.

"Есть вещи, которые никогда не напишешь в прозе - они выламываются из текста. Когда о прозе говорят: "слишком публицистично" - это всегда минус. Что вовсе не отменяет ценность самой публицистики. Только дураки пишут исключительно в расчете на вечность, и не размениваются по мелочам. В этой книжке я, напротив, старательно размениваюсь по мелочам, и хорошо, что так, и правильно. Осталось лишь добавить, что каким бы печальным не виделось мне будущее России, это, к сожалению, никак не отменяло моего веселого и злого настроения. Своим настроением я хотел бы поделиться и с тобой, читатель". - Захар Прилепин

It was hard to ascertain what Prilepin stands for (his political persuasion) - in favour of resurrection of the Soviet empire or against it, in favour of the new Putin regime or against it. His views are mixed, the lines are blurred and there is no distinct platform. I had to look his party up on the net to try to understand more about what exactly National-Bolsheviks and the coalition "The Other Russia" stand for, and I am still confused... What does his party's petition to "free up political space" mean exactly in the context of current Russia political and economic developments???
However, the essays are written amazingly well, from the bottom of the heart, and brought up quote a few nostalgic thoughts in me, as I grew up in Russian at the same time Zakhar Prilepin did. I didn't much like how he attacked in one of those essays my "Goddess" - the writer I remember reading and admiring throughout my adolescent years - Tatiana Tolstaya, although I do understand the nature of his "attacks" on her prose and on her characters.
I enjoyed reading Prilepin's essays and he intrigued me as a new Russia political activists and as a writer, I've just got his novels that I am going to read soon.
