Ленинградские сказки #3
Жуки не плачут
Вырвавшиеся из блокадного Ленинграда Шурка, Бобка и Таня снова разлучены, но живы и точно знают это - они уже научились чувствовать, как бьются сердца близких за сотни километров от них. Война же в слепом своем безумии не щадит никого: ни взрослых, ни маленьких, ни тех, кто на передовой, ни тех, кто за Уралом, ни кошек, ни лошадей, ни деревья, ни птиц. С этой глупой войной все ужасно запуталось, и теперь, чтобы ее прогнать, пора браться за самое действенное оружие - раз люди и бомбы могут так мало, самое время пустить сказочный заговор.
"Жуки не плачут" - третья из пяти книг цикла "Ленинградские сказки".

About the author
Yulia Yakovleva
23 books20 followersYulia Yakovleva is a writer based in Oslo, Norway, who writes in Norwegian and Russian. Her books have received several international awards.
She has written a series of children’s novels – known as “The Leningrad Tales” – that examine aspects of the Stalin era, including political repressions and World War 2. The first book, The Raven’s Children, which was published in 2016 and translated into English by Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp in 2018, is set in 1938 and tells of a brother and sister whose parents are taken away during the night. Later “Leningrad Tales” books cover the blockade of Leningrad, World War 2 evacuation, and returning home.
Yakovleva’s series of three adult historical detective novels about Leningrad police investigator Vasily Zaitsev, a character with an interesting moral code, is set in the 1930s. Yakovleva’s Zaitsev books are suspenseful and filled with atmospheric and period-specific details including the smells, quarrels, and density of communal apartments, as well as elements such as art, missing jewels, thoroughbred horses, and the plight of the dekulakized.
Her ABCs of Love, a book for all ages, looks at love through classic Russian literature; a 2020 novel, Poets and Gentlemen, is a sort of manga (in the ranobe subgenre) involving a battle between literary “dream teams” from Russia (Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Chekhov) and Britain (Austin, Shelley, Radcliffe). Her first children book Halens historie written in Norwegian, received the Bologna Ragazzi Award 2014 in Opera Prima category.
Previously, she worked as a ballet critic at the Afisha magazine and wrote a number of books on the Russian ballet’s past and present.

Из трёх книг серии "Ленинградские сказки" эта показалась наиболее удачной по соединённости вместе реальной и сказочной части, в предыдущих книгах сказочные части казались чем-то совершенно отдельным от основного повествования. Ну и концовки опять нет, поэтому, когда выйдут все части, их можно будет считать одной книгой.
