Books, years, life. Autobiography of the Soviet reader

What will the autobiography of the Soviet intellectual look if you put it in the conceptual framework of the reader biography? The author of these memoirs N. Yu. Rusova undertook to put such an experiment and turn to the personal past, relying on the books read and the impressions they caused. A connoisseur of fiction, she talks about the circle of her reading, paying attention to philological and historical details. In her narrative, favorite verses and prose are not only closely related to the events of personal or professional life, but also immersed in a political and cultural context. The important task that the author sets itself is to preserve on the pages of the book a certificate of forever lost reader culture.
