A secret person

Andrei Platonov is one of the most interesting and distinctive prose writers in the history of Russian literature, a philosopher writer, the main tool of which was a special language, reflecting the original simplicity of the world and, as Valentin Rasputin wrote, a mundane wisdom, as if consciously not rising above the ground. According to Andrei Bitov, “Platonov managed to write his texts with this, in some kind of pre-Christian language of the primitive nascent consciousness. And the depth of these comprehension is equal to firstborn, origin, that moment of consciousness, when nothing is expressed. Maybe Platonov should be read to the children, maybe they will understand this easier - and on time. ” The collection includes the most famous novels and stories of Andrei Platonov, including the “secret man”, “juvenile sea”, “Potudan River”, “Fro”, “Flower on Earth”, etc
