Россия молодая
Эпопея «Россия молодая» Юрия Германа повествует о времени невиданных прежде на Руси перемен — эпохе Петра I. Великий Ломоносов, уроженец Поморья, — тех же мест, о которых идет речь в романе, находил царя «Богу подобным»: «дхнет дух Его — и потекут воды, прикоснется горам — и воздымятся»… Но крепки же должны быть люди, на которых повеяло тем же духом! Именно таковы главные герои романа: помор-кормщик Иван Рябов и царский стольник Сильвестр Иевлев. Жизнь вовлекает их в бурный круговорот событий, требует принимать сложные решения в стремлении и Родине послужить, и себя, свою сущность не предать.
Нелегко ведь приходится «России молодой»: своенравный царь отнюдь не жалеет людей, гибнущих в нечеловеческих условиях первых «великих строек»; и местные, и заезжие начальники неукротимо воруют; внешние угрозы неизбежно усугубляются в ответ на рост российского могущества; соперничают, как могут, заезжие учителя кораблестроения, точных наук и неспешные поморы с их вековой мудростью…
По роману «Россия молодая» снят известный многосерийный фильм (1981).

About the author
Yuri German
27 books2 followersYuri Pavlovich German (Russian: Ю́рий Па́влович Ге́рман) (April 4 [O.S. March 22] 1910 – January 16, 1967) was a Soviet Russian writer, playwright, screenwriter, and journalist.
German was born in Riga (then part of the Russian Empire) and accompanied his father, an artillery officer, during the Civil War. He graduated from high school in Kursk and studied at the Technical School of Performing Arts in Leningrad in 1929. At age 17, he wrote the novel Rafael iz parikmakherskoi (Raphael of the barbershop), published in 1928, but did not consider himself a professional writer until he published the novel Vstuplenie (Entry), which met with the approval of Maxim Gorky, in 1931.
In 1936, together with director Sergei Gerasimov, he wrote the screenplay for the movie Semero smelykh (The courageous seven), about researchers in the Arctic; among his other screenplays were Pirogov (1947) and Belinsky (1951), both directed by Grigori Kozintsev, and Delo Rumyantseva (The Rumyantsev case, 1955), directed by Iosif Kheifits.
During World War II German was a war correspondent for TASS and the Soviet Information Bureau with the Northern Fleet. He spent the entire war in the north; from Arkhangelsk he often flew to Murmansk or Kandalaksha, living in the Arctic for months on end, traveling to the front, visiting forward positions, and spending time on the warships of the Northern Fleet. During this time he wrote essays and articles for TASS, and still found time for short stories and novels. During the war he wrote the short novels Bi kheppi! (Be happy!), Attestat (The certificate), Studyonoe more (The frozen sea), and Daleko na Severe (The far north) and the plays Za zdorov'e togo, kto v puti (To the health of the man on the road) and Beloe more (White Sea). He was a member of the Communist Party from 1958.
After the war he wrote a historical novel about the era of Peter the Great, Rossiya molodaya (Young Russia, 1952). From his novels and short stories his son Aleksei German made the films Proverka na dorogakh (Trial on the road, or road check, from the novel Operatsiya "S Novym godom") and Moi drug Ivan Lapshin (My Friend Ivan Lapshin), and Semyon Aranovich made the film Torpedonostsy (Torpedo bombers).

Давно я книг по тысяче с лишними страниц не читал. И с таким удовольствием

Прекрасное произведение, погружает в турбулентный период великой северной войны и становления России империей. Дворцовые интриги, провинциальные махинации и военные действия Ю. Герман показывает глазами шведских агентов, российских моряков, офицеров и многих гражданских лиц, так что читатель не заскучает
И кстати, все действующие лица это реальные люди и сюжет идет бок о бок с историческими фактами.
