About the author

Yuri Pavlovich Kazakov was a Russian author of short stories. He started out as a jazz musician, but turned to publishing his stories in 1952. He attended the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute, graduating in 1958. Kazakov was born to a worker's family in Moscow and grew up in the old Arbat area, which has today been turned into a tourist attraction but in the mid-1900s was the focal point of Russian culture. He emerged as a writer only thanks to the short period in recent Russian history known as "the Thaw", but in the mid-1960s, this period gave way to stagnation in culture and public life. Kazakov produced some of his best stories in the 1970s, which dealt with the merging of two souls, the soul of the newborn and the soul of the poet at the end of his life.

Kazakov died on November 29, 1982 and was buried in Vagankovo Cemetery in Moscow.

[Katerina Vezhnovets · Rating 5 out of 5]

Только одно приходит в голову после прочтения : это прекрасно.
Превосходное документальное произведение; чуткое, завораживающее своей глубиной и описывающее при этом, как ни странно, довольно простые реалии жизни Севера.
