"Our critics do not pay attention to this piesu and think that this is one of the weaknesses of my works, though nothing I would rather not write" (A. Pushkin)

Thank God, I did not think this one "piesu" weak. Answer Pushkin critics quite reasonable - why not continue ernichat next? Who can say that makes their work badly?

Finding great ideas in simple words it is not difficult - just need to add Pobol pathos, and sometimes choose not entirely appropriate to place quotation.
 
I have gradually come to believe that during the Soviet Union was a very good system of publishing. Then not published bad works. Of course, if the issue is not the ideology - ask me not to distort. I am not writing about the opus LI Brezhnev, but about literature aboveground authors.
For example, we all know that the great Dumas were hundreds of novels, but in the Soviet reader were available only dozens. That dropped the Iron Curtain, all from a distance - but who reads these weak product? They are not wanted. So I was disappointed in the unedited Remarque - correctly, that his early works did not pay attention to the USSR. I am sure that "Angelo" Pushkin's not for nothing printed very rarely, in the complete collection of works.

AS Pushkin Bakhchisarai Fountain », 1824


«Giray sat with downcast eyes;
Amber in his mouth, smoked;
Silently creeping yard
Around the formidable Khan pressed.
All was quiet in the palace,
Fear, all read
Signs of anger and sadness
In the twilight of his face .... »

Is it possible to compare the level of these lines with the verse "Angelo"?! Here, every word in the verse - is unique and unrepeatable. Gathering the text line by line, I suddenly automatically wrote the last line myself, without looking at the book-source! It turned out that all previous lines clearly and unambiguously define each letter and sign the last line. Can not be mistaken! Ace Pushkin!

When in the early 80-ies publishing "Literature" offered Anatoly Ivanovich Zykov choose a favorite piece and include it in the plan illustrated "gift" of publications, Zykov, on reflection, focused on "Virgin Soil Upturned. The decision demanded that the artist's depth, verified and painstaking work, which stretched, a total of seven years. By 1988, the series was completed, but the publication has not gone to print. Zykov made it clear that under the "trend of the times" the publication of this novel is Sholokhov is not a priority for the publishing house (the formal reason for the refusal to print "Virgin Soil Upturned" was the lack of adequate funding of the project). Thus, the result of tremendous efforts of the artist remained unclaimed; series for many years, they say, "lay on the table."
Here are some: boom. wc. white.

The most correct decision. Museum - is the right buyer.

YA videl v eti raboty masterskoy hudozhnika. In reality, they have a stronger impression than the picture. I was struck by the artistic power with which Anatoly Zykov managed to convey the characters of the novel the most minimal means. Prominent Soviet artist-illustrator, no doubt, take into account the low capacity of equipment of the Soviet printing houses. Black and gray water could be transferred to the fullest at the time.

I was particularly struck by Figure 8 and 9 - double page spread of the message and Par! The sheets appeared to me in black and white Russian avant-garde.

Now nobody knows when we will see illustration Zykov to Sholokhov's novel "Virgin Soil Upturned. They were not published during his lifetime in connection with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Therefore, I want to show off some work on the forum.
