Leonid Leonov (1899-1994) is a White Guard officer and an ordinary Red Army soldier, a merchant son and a fashion writer, whom Maxim Gorky called his successor, a playwright whose plays are removed from the repertoire of Stalin’s calls, and the master, who is congratulated by Mikhail Gorbachev on the ninetry ... It is incredible that it is incredible that All this could fit into the life of one person.
The glory of his first novels - "badgers", "thief" - envied Bulgakov and Nabokov, the play "Untilovsk" was put in the Moscow Art Theater at Stanislavsky, and the publication of the last novel - "Pyramid" - was late for several years to become a bestseller of the era Perestroika along with the "children of Arbat".
"Prilepin-biographer is very careful. That is why the fabric of the book is with a chevron on the sleeve of the ensign Leonov and the prices for Konina in Arkhangelsk in 1919, with the executions in Odessa 1921 and Leonov’s poems in the Odessa newspaper Red Fighter, with the letters of M.V. Sabashnikov to wife from arrest , with a widely prescribed background of fate and a clear understanding of figures, connections, meanings - reconstructs the "unthinkable diversity of the Divine world." And each glare, each semantic smear complicates the portrait of the protagonist "(Elena Dyakova," New Gazeta ").
"Love, interest in the character and the joyful readiness to solve the mysteries offered by him, even without hope of final success, they are through Prilepin in every line, in every masterfully selected quote. It is difficult to break away from his book, and at the exit there is an urgent desire to re -read Leonov himself - "Russian forest", "thief", "road to the ocean". And this is perhaps the best that, in principle, we can say about any writing biography "(Galina Yuzefovich)
