Азбука любви
Давайте начистоту. Никому из нас не хочется снова стать пятнадцатилетним. Никто из нас не хочет снова влюбляться в первый раз. Снова страдать. Снова умирать от любви.
Снова перечитывать школьную программу по литературе тоже никто не хочет. А зря: у великих писателей для влюбленных есть много советов. Не повторяйте ошибок Онегина и Татьяны, Ромео и Джульетты, Хосе и Кармен, Анны Карениной и Вронского. Не переходите дорогу в неположенном месте. Отвечайте на письма сразу, в день получения. Готовьте паэлью и не ссорьтесь из‑за ерунды. Любите как Афанасий Иванович и Пульхерия Ивановна из «Старосветских помещиков» — ведь это единственная история счастливой любви в мировой литературе.
Книга публициста, писателя Юлии Яковлевой выходила в 2009 году, сейчас она издана в новой редакции и новом оформлении в серии для взрослых читателей и подростков издательства «Самокат».

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.

Небанальные скетчи о любви в мировой литературе – формально для подростков, но на самом деле для взрослых (серьёзно, никто это в школе не читал, а если и читал, то не понял).
Надеюсь, будет продолжение!
