Sinless indulgence of speech

Nadezhda Nikolaevna Bromley is known primarily as a director and playwright, although back in 1910, she debuted in literature as a poet close to St. Petersburg futurists. At the turn of the 1920-1930 x, she began to experiment with prose, but her experiments were at first at first criticism, and then completely forgotten. However, according to Elena D. Tolstaya, undeservedly: a pronounced eye and thin hearing, expressive language and brutal wit allow you to consider hope of Bromley a serious prose writer. Her delightful fantastic and historical novels always concern revolutions - be it a French revolution, a rebellion of the elements or the uprising of angels. The free spirit that Bromley"s prose breathes was partly the cause of such a complex reception, but it was he who makes the return to its forgotten works so relevant.
The monograph by Elena Tolstoy about the work of N. N. Bromley occupies the first part of the book, the second includes the author’s articles dedicated to other bright heroes of the era from Mark Shagal and Evgeny Vakhtangov to Maximilian Voloshin and Vladimir Nabokov.
