Walrus, Teacher and Poet. Little stories for lovers of big adventures

Arthur Givargizov has long been known as the author of children"s poems (the collections "somehow I flew from the mountain ash", "generals", "when once", "astronauts" and others), stories and plays. By education, Arthur is a professional musician, but, reading his poems, you immediately understand that he is a real poet, a bully and a wizard who, like no one understands children, and always with his readers. His new book - "walrus, teacher and poet" - these are two stories about the sixty -year -old Mikhail Mikhailovich from the village of Pesochny on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. But don"t be scared! It"s not about a boring pensioner at all. Misha is an elderly man, but very, childish, happy, and everyone calls him just by name, "because small, frivolous and wise is one and the same."
In the sandy, there is always a place for an ordinary miracle, and the happiness of its inhabitants is in simple and understandable things. This is a small cozy world cut off from civilization. Misha himself live in it with a bear and a thawed mammoth, a bully Snegirev and grandmother Olya. And in Olina Sarai, police officers who were flying from St. Petersburg once settled, who either become philosophers or turn into an orchestra. Mushrooms are collected in the sand, measure the temperature of the Arctic Ocean and play chess. Small heads can be read one after one, or you can at a different way. Each of them is like a short parable: either a little sad, then a little philosophical, then insanely ridiculous. Givargizov’s stories are naive, naive, something fantastic always lives next to the real. In the second part of the book, this fantastic breaks out. After all, Misha goes to the mysterious hot India. The wooden sands of the sandy are replaced by Indian temples, and the journey turns into a bright kaleidoscope: outlandish dishes, meetings with yogis, trips on an elephant, filming ... But you should not sit in a fabulous country when there is where and to whom to return. And Misha goes home, where the whole sandy meets him as a great traveler.
