About the author
Ivan Shmelyov
68 books11 followers Иван Сергеевич Шмелёв
Russian émigré writer, member of the Moscow literary group Sreda.
Shmelev was born into a merchant family. He graduated from the law faculty of Moscow University in 1898. His works first appeared in print in 1895. Shmelev’s best prerevolutionary prose works showed a profound knowledge of city life and popular language; they employed the narrative technique of oral folktales. The novellas Collapse (1907), Citizen Ukleikin (1908), and The Man From the Restaurant (1911), which was the most significant of the three, were written in the traditional style of critical realism.
Shmelev emigrated in 1922 and later published anti-Soviet stories and books filled with nostalgia for the prerevolutionary past, for example, The Lord’s Summer (1933).

Признаюсь, что книга покупалась лишь из-за Солнца Мертвых - нигде не мог найти его отдельно. Произведение насковзь пронизано красивым русским языком, на таком сейчас редко пишут, и уж тем более не говорят. Сюжет разворачивается в первые годы советской власти, разграбленное, голодное население медленно умирает. Съедается все что имеет хоть какой-то вкус, в первую очередь, конечно, запасы, домашние и не только домашние животные, семена, стебли и пр. Тяжелое переплетение судьб вчерашних "господ" и таких же "пролетариев" брошенных на произвол судьбы в умирающем дачном городке.
