Prokliaty i ubity [The Damned and the Dead]
Classics
Prokliaty i ubity [The Damned and the Dead]

In 1942, an eighteen-year-old boy, Victor Astafyev, volunteered for the front. He served on the front line, suffered several serious wounds, was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the medal 'For Courage', was discharged in 1945 with the rank of 'ordinary'. The war, seen through the eyes of a simple soldier - one of hundreds of thousands who, in inhuman conditions, daily fight with death - is the central theme in the work of the outstanding Russian writer Viktor Astafyev. The novel 'Cursed and Killed' is the result of many years of reflection and one of the most dramatic, tragic and truthful stories about the war as a 'crime against reason'. The piercing frankness of the writer, his uncompromising unwillingness to hide the 'inconvenient' facts and to embellish the harsh truth, betraying his own memories and memory of the fallen, won the love of millions of readers for Astafyev's works.

'Eugene Onegin' - the most famous and most significant work of Alexander Pushkin, the pinnacle of Russian poetry and the subject of numerous studies. Pushkin began the novel in May 1823, and finished it only in the fall of 1831, when Onegin's Letter to Tatiana was written. In the fall of 1823, the poet told his friends: 'Now I am writing not a novel, but a novel in verse - a devilish difference ...' Amusing, light, based on a love story conveyed in the manner of a confidential conversation between the author and the reader - and at the same time full of insoluble paradoxes and mysteries , Pushkin's novel attracts new and new generations of readers. This edition includes a commentary on the novel by the famous philologist Yu.M. Lotman. The scientist shows the internally complex structure of the novel 'Eugene Onegin', full of contradictions, hidden behind the external lightness and intelligibility of Pushkin's lines.
