Fallen leaves

Rozanov asserts a new type of literature - spontaneous, fragmented, intimate, almost domestic, where the boundary between the author and the reader blurs. However, in trying to overcome traditional literature, the writer feels how literature overcomes him. "The main books of Russian literature" is a joint series of the publishing house "Alpina. Proza" and the internet project "Polka". The works that come out in this series are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary scholars, and teachers. This is an attempt to define what the Russian literary canon looks like today and a new perspective on well-known works: each book is accompanied by a foreword by the authors of "Polka".
