About the author

Andrei Platonov

268 books455 followers
Andrei Platonov, August 28, 1899 – January 5, 1951, was the pen name of Andrei Platonovich Klimentov, a Soviet author whose works anticipate existentialism. Although Platonov was a Communist, his works were banned in his own lifetime for their skeptical attitude toward collectivization and other Stalinist policies.

From 1918 through 1921, his most intensive period as a writer, he published dozens of poems (an anthology appeared in 1922), several stories, and hundreds of articles and essays, adopting in 1920 the Platonov pen-name by which he is best-known. With remarkably high energy and intellectual precocity he wrote confidently across a wide range of topics including literature, art, cultural life, science, philosophy, religion, education, politics, the civil war, foreign relations, economics, technology, famine, and land reclamation, amongst others.

His famous works include the novels The Foundation Pit and Chevengur.

Прочитала по договору с учеником. В школе избегала это произведение. И правильно. Очень грустно.

Платонов в этом рассказе очень мне близок и я рада, что прочитала. вернее я слушала аудиокниги, была в расфокусе, а когда сконцентрировалась, то уже был грустный конец. я люблю трагичные книги про счастливых, но по сути своей нелюбимых, одиноких людей. про юшку конечно такого не скажешь, это очень спорно, ведь он был счастлив. но не поверю, что он мысленно хотя бы раз не страдал от нападок общества. в общем и целом за ме ча тель но

Грустная история о человеке с большущей душой и неимоверной добротой. Жаль что взрослые такие чёрствые в этой истории.
