Dina Rubina’s inspiring travel essays for those remaining at the window Automatic translate

MOSCOW. The publishing house "Eksmo" published a new book by Dina Rubina.

At the end of June, Dina Rubina returned from another trip: the Urals, Altai, Siberia. Impressions that later materialize in lines, crowded, welcoming the halls of local philharmonic societies, libraries, bookstores. Forever young student Tomsk, a fair stream of art lovers at the exhibitions of Boris Karafelov (husband Rubina) in Krasnoyarsk museums. House of Victor Astafyev in Ovsyanka, striking modesty. And a church with a library built there with his money. A magnificent bookstore and a stunning public in gloomy Chelyabinsk.

One of the main impressions: against the background of endless problems in a vast country, absurdities, tragic contradictions - wonderful, bright faces of people. Prefer to read good books, think, believe only the truthful word. In Chekhov’s “Ward No. 6,” a provincial doctor admits: an educated person in adulthood perceives life as a trap without a way out. Later, in Gooseberry, Chekhov further develops this idea: for self-realization and manifestation of all the properties of a free spirit, a small allotment is not enough for a person. The whole globe should be open in front of him. For those who opened a window to the vast world, and now get used to being content with a window leaf - such prospects seem illusory.

“Through the hat net” - about the impressions of the early 2000s. For a person with a developed imagination, sensitive to metaphors and a good syllable, Rubin’s essays collected in a new book are an opportunity to overcome any boundaries. Walk along the cobblestones of Prague streets, listen to musicians on Charles Bridge, read Kafka’s letters to Milena Yesenskaya, travel to Van Gogh Provence, wander around the streets of Frankfurt without a purpose, and look into the past at the Delft hotel. Temporary escapism of this kind is a source of new impressions and positive emotions, a little respite from stress and problems.

Anton Pavlovich had no doubt that even a weak hope for freedom inspires the soul. Ruby’s book - from inspiring.
