About the author
Agnia Kuznetsova
7 books2 followersAgniya Aleksandrovna Kuznetsova was a Russian Soviet writer.
She studied in the 8th grade when the pioneer newspaper "Young Leninist" published her first article. Perhaps it was this note that was destined to play a decisive role later, when the girl applied to the Faculty of Philology at Leningrad University. There, at the university, a twenty-year-old student, Kuznetsova, wrote her first stories, which were published in the collective collection "October" (1932).
After graduation, she worked in the editorial offices of pioneer and youth newspapers in Leningrad and Novosibirsk, then in the Irkutsk Radio Committee, in the editorial office of children's broadcasting. A close acquaintance with the life of the school helped her to better understand and feel the peculiarities of child psychology, to understand deeper into school problems. And when the almanac "New Siberia" published in 1939 her first story "In the Chulym taiga", published a year later as a separate book in Irkutsk, criticism spoke of Kuznetsova as a talented, original children's writer.
Her husband was the writer Georgy Markov

Une adorable histoire au tour d'un professeur d'histoire qui assure parfaitement et avec beaucoup de performance, non seulement sa fonction éducationnelle, mais aussi sur le plan spirituel et accompagnement.

Thankfully light on the didacticism that can bedevil Soviet literature pre-perestroika, Agnia Kuznetsova writes a rather charming story about students at a school in Siberia who learn about their history and the town they live in with the help of a particularly understanding teacher. Grozny their teacher is also writing a tale which recounts the story of Saratovkin a former orphan adopted by a rich Russian family. Searching for his peasant origins, Saratovkin later gives all his inherited wealth away in order to practice as a teacher. Kuznetsova is not afraid to incorporate elements of magical realism into Grozny's parallel story which helps lift the story out of the dangers of the previously mentioned didacticism. Sure there's a moral (Character building through education helping to form the future Soviet friend, comrade and brother to his fellowmen)but it goes down easily.
