Creativity Tatiana Tolstoy

Tatyana Tolstaya often talks about how to start writing stories. In 1982, she had vision problems and she decided to make an operation before the eyes, which at the time was carried out with the help of a razor cut. After surgery on the second eye, it could not be in daylight for a long time.

So continued for a long time. I hung double curtains, went out on the street only with the onset of darkness. I couldn't do anything around the house, could not care for children. You could not read either. Three months later, it all passes and you begin to see so unexpectedly clearly ... that is, all impressionism leaves, and the full realism begins. And on the eve of this, I felt that I could sit down and write a good story - from beginning to end. So I started writing.

Tatyana Thick

The writer said that the Russian classic was among her favorite literature. In 2008, her personal reader's rating was Lion Nikolaevich Tolstoy, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. On the formation of Tolstoy as a writer and a person greatly influenced the roots of Ivanovich Chukovsky, his articles, memoirs, memories, books about language and translations. The writer especially allocated such works by Chukovsky as "High Art" and "Live As Life", and said: "Who did not read - very advise, because it is more interesting than detectives, and written amazing. And in general, he was one of the most brilliant Russian critics. "

Tolstoy belong to the "new wave" in the literature. In particular, Vitaly Wulf wrote in his book "Silver Ball" (2003): "In the fashion writers" New Wave ": B. Akunin, Tatiana Tolstaya, Victor Pelevin. Talented people writing without refuse, without pity ... ". It is called [who?] One of the bright names of the "artistic prose", leaving its roots to the "game prose" of Bulgakov, the Oleshi, who brought with him a parody, junning, holiday, the eccentricity of the author's "I". Andrei Nemzer so spoke on her early stories: "" Estheticism "Tolstoy was more important than her" moralism "."

"

Story period

For the early period of creativity, Tolstoy is characterized by the predominance of such as universal issues of being, the "eternal" topics and evil, life and death, the choice of the path, relationship with the world and its destination. Slavina V. A. Noted that in the work of the writer felt longing for lost humanistic values \u200b\u200bin art. Researchers noted that almost all Tolstoy characters are dreamers who are "stuck" between reality and their fictional world. The stories prevailing the paradoxical point of view on the world, with the help of satire there is an absurdity of some phenomena of life. A. N. The "Motive of Death in the Artistic World of Stories T. Tolstoy" celebrated in his work "Motif of death in the artistic world of stories of death in the stories of the writer, who are close to the aesthetics of modern and postmodern.

In the textbook "Modern Russian literature" there was a special author's position Tolstoy, which is expressed in a special literary-fabulous metaphoricity of the style, the poetics of neomophologism, in choosing the characters of the storytellers. The neomiopholyism in its works was manifested in the fact that thick used folklore images. In the story "Date with the bird" she used the famous Russian folklore image - a bird of Sirin. Alexander Genis in Novaya Gazeta noted that the thick best in modern literature copes with the use of metaphor. The author wrote that in its metaphors there is an influence of the Oleshi, but they are more organically embedded in the plot.

In some other stories, the reception of opposition, contrasts. Stories "Cute Shura" and "Circle" are built on opposing light and darkness (as life and death), which is reflected in a later story "Night". The meaning of the Antinomy of the "light - darkness" in Tatiana Tolstoy stories occupies a central place and includes: "The opposition of spiritual and material, elevated and lowland, living and dead, domestic and existent, dreams and reality (imaginary and real), eternal and momentary, good and evil, compassionate and indifferent.

An excerpt characterizing fat, Tatyana Nikitichna

He grabbed his hand to his hand to his bony brush, shook her, looked right in the face of his son with his fast eyes, which seemed to have seen a man, and again laughed with his cold laugh.
The son sighed, admitting this sigh in the fact that his father understood him. The old man, continuing to fold and print letters, with its usual speed, grabbed and threw a surgucha, printing and paper.
- What to do? Beautiful! I'll do everything. You are fuddled, "he said abruptly during printing.
Andrew was silent: he was nice and unpleasant that his father understood him. The old man got up and filed a letter to his son.
"Listen," he said, "I don't care about my wife: what can be done, it will be done. Now listen: Let the letter to Mikhail Ilarionovich give. I write that he used you in good places and did not hold you for a long time: a bad post! Tell you to him that I remember him and love. Yes write how he will accept you. If it is good, serve. Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky Son from the grace to serve no one who will not. Well, now come here.
He spoke to such a patter that he did not have to do half of the words, but the son was accustomed to understand him. He brought his son to the Bureau, threw back the lid, put forward a drawer and took out his latter, long and compressed handwriting a notebook.
- I must have to die before you. Know, here are my notes, their sovereign to convey after my death. Now here is a lombard ticket and a letter: this is a bonus to those who write the history of Suvorov wars. Send to the Academy. Here my remarks, after me read for yourself, you can find.
Andrei did not say the father that, right, he would live for a long time. He understood that this was not needed.
"All I'll fulfill," father, "he said.
- Well, now goodbye! "He gave his hand to kiss his hand and hugged him." - Remember one, Prince Andrei: If you kill you, I will hurt you old man ... - He suddenly silent and suddenly continued with a crushing voice: - If I find out that you didn't know yourself as the son of Nikolai Bolkonsky, I will be ashamed! He screamed.
"That you could not tell me," Batyushka, "smiling, Son said.
The old man fell silent.
- I also wanted to ask you, "continued Prince Andrei, - if I was killed and if I had a son, do not let him down from myself, as I told you yesterday, so that he grew up with you ... please.
- Wife not give? - said the old man and laughed.
They silently stood against each other. The rapid eyes of the old man were directly directed into the eyes of the son. Something fluttered at the bottom of the face of the old prince.
- I used to say goodbye ... go! - Suddenly he said. - Stay! He shouted an angry and loud voice, revolating the cabinet door.
- What is what? - the princess and princess, seeing the prince of Andrei and for a minute the old man shouted an angry voice in a white coat, without a wig and in Starikovsky glasses.
Prince Andrei sighed and said nothing.
"Well," he said, turning to his wife.
And this "Well" sounded a cold mockery, as if he said: "Now you do your pieces."
- Andre, deja! [Andrei, already!] - said a little princess, palena and with fear looking at her husband.
He hugged her. She screamed and fell without feelings on his shoulder.
He carefully dismissed his shoulder on which she lay, looked into her face and carefully planted her on the chair.
- Adieu, Marieie, [Goodbye, Masha,] - He said to the sister quietly, kissed her hand in his hand and came out of the room.
The princess lay in the chair, M Lle scratch was rubbed her whiskey. Princess Marya, supporting the daughter-in-law, with aspired beautiful eyes, still looked at the door, in which the prince of Andrei came out, and baptized him. From the office heard were, as shots, often repeated angry sounds of Starikovsky blowing. Just Prince Andrei came out, the cabinet door quickly opened and looked like a strict figure of the old man in a white coat.
- Did you go? Well and good! Said, he said angrily looking at an insensible little princess, shook his head scorznantly and slammed the door.

In October 1805, the Russian troops also occupied the villages of the Austrian Erzgreegence, and new shelves came from Russia and, burdened by the inhabitants, were located near Brownau's fortress. Brownau had the main apartment of the commander-in-chief of Kutuzov.
On October 11, 1805, one of the infantry regiments who had just come to Brownau, waiting for a review of the commander-in-chief, stood in half a liter from the city. Despite the non-Russian area and the situation (fruit gardens, stone fences, tiled roofs, the mountains, the visible away), on the Unusual people, with curiosity looked at the soldier, the regiment had exactly the same kind as everyone had any Russian regiment, who was preparing for looking somewhere In the middle of Russia.
From the evening, at the last transition, an order was received that the commander-in-chief will watch the regiment on the campaign. Although the words of the order and seemed to be unclear to the regimental commander, and the question arose, how to intelligence the words of the order: in marching form or not? In the Council of Battalion Commanders, it was decided to represent the regiment in the parade form on the grounds that it is always better to overlap than not to adopt. And soldiers, after the thirtieth transition, did not climb the eye, they were cleaned all night, cleaned; Adjutants and Roets were calculated, expelled; and by the morning regiment, instead of a stretched random crowd, what he was on the eve of the last transition, represented a slender mass of 2,000 people, of whom everyone knew his place, his work and of which each intention and strap were in their place and glittered clean . Not only the outdoor was properly, but if it would be pleasing to the commander-in-chief to look under the uniforms, then on each he would have seen the same clean shirt and in every plan there would be a legal number of things, the "Slice and Soap", as soldiers say. There was only one circumstance, about which no one could be calm. It was shoes. More than half of people, the boots were broken. But this lack did not happen from the guilt of the regimental commander, since, despite repeated demands, he was not released the goods from the Austrian department, and the regiment passed a thousand versts.
The regimental commander was an elderly, sanguine, with gray-haired eyebrows and Benbankards, a dense and wide more from the chest to his back than from one shoulder to another. It was a new one, with a needle, with a blind folding of uniform and thick golden epolets, which as if not a book, and then raised his fat shoulders. The regimental commander had a kind of man happily performing one of the most solemn affairs of life. He walked in front of the front and, gorgeous, dug up at every step, slightly curling his back. It was seen, it was that the regimental commander admires his regiment, happy to them that all his strengths are engaged only by the regiment; But, despite the fact that his oppression gait as if he said that, except for military interests, in his soul, his considerable place is also occupied by the interests of public household and female.
- Well, the father of Mikhailo Mithrich, he turned to one battalion commander (the battalion commander smiling went ahead; it was seen that they were happy), - went to nuts now at night. However, it seems nothing, the regiment is not bad ... eh?
The battalion commander understood cheerful irony and laughed.
- And on the Tsaritsyn meadow from the field would not be proactious.
- What? Said the commander.
At this time, on the road from the city, on which they were placed, two riding appeared. These were an adjutant and the Cossack, who was driving from behind.
The adjutant was sent from the General Staff to confirm the regimental commander what was said to be unclear in yesterday's order, namely, the commander-in-chief wanted to see the regiment is completely in that position in which it was walking in overcoats, in covers and without any preparations.
A member of the Cutuzuza from Vienna, with proposals and requirements of ITTI, arrived on the Kutuzov, with the proposals and requirements of ITTi, and Kutuzov, not counting this compound, among other evidence, in favor of his opinion, he intended to show the Austrian General in which troops came from Russia. With this goal, he wanted to go to meet the regiment, so, the worse there would be a position of the regiment, the more nice it would be the commander-in-chief. Although the adjutant did not know these details, but he handed over the regulatory commander the indispensable requirement of the commander-in-chief so that people were in stones and covers, and that otherwise the commander-in-chief will be dissatisfied. After listening to these words, the regimental commander lowered his head, silently pulled his shoulders and a sanguine gesture spread his arms.
- Motion! - he said. "So I told you, Mikhailo Mithrich, that at the campaign, so in the stakes," he turned with reproach to the battalion commander. - Oh, my God! - he added and resolutely made ahead. - Lord Road Commanders! He shouted with a voice familiar to the team. - Feldebel! ... will they please regret? - He turned to the arranging adjutant with an expression of respectful courtesy, apparently belonged to the face that he spoke.
- An hour later, I think.
- Have time to move?
- I do not know, the general ...
The regimental commander, coming to the rows, ordered to disguise again in the sheel. Rotta commanders fused on companies, Feldofebeli have dried out (shelters were not completely good) and at the same moment they swamped, stretched and talking to the correct, silent four-rollers. From all sides, the soldiers were taught and ran up behind her shoulders, they dragged the earlings through their heads, they filmed over her shinels and, highly raising their hands, pulled them into the sleeves.
After half an hour, everything came again in the former order, only four-rollers became gray of black. The regimental commander, again, the gait again, came forward the regiment and looked around him from afar.
- What else? What's this! He shouted, stopping. - Commander 3rd company! ..
- Commander 3rd company to General! The commander to General, 3rd company to the commander! ... - Voices were heard around the rows, and the adjutant ran to find a disguised officer.
When the sounds of diligent voices, reassuring, shouting already "General in the 3rd Road", they reached the appointment, the required officer appeared because of the company and, although the person was already an elderly and habits to run, awkwardly clinging his socks, tried to the general. The face of Captain expressed anxiety of a schoolboy who was veiled to say the lesson who was unbearable to them. On red (obviously from the confusion) the nose was spots, and the mouth did not find the position. The regulatory commander from the legs to the head examined the captain, while he frightening, as the step is approximated.
- You will soon go to the sundresses! What's this? - shouted the regimental commander, putting forward the lower jaw and pointing in the ranks of the 3rd company on the soldier in the colors of the factory cloth, distinguished from other sinels. - Where were there? The commander-in-chief is expected, and you move away from your place? And? ... I will teach you how to wear people in Cossacks! ... and? ...
Rotta commander, not showering eyes from the boss, more and more pressed his two fingers to the visor, as if he saw his salvation in one of this pressing.
- Well, what are you silent? Who do you have there in the Hungarian? - Strictly joked the regimental commander.
- Your Excellency…
- Well, "Your Excellency"? Your Excellency! Your Excellency! And that your Excellency is unknown to anyone.
"Your Excellency, it is share, demolished ..." said Quios Captain.
- What is he in Feldmarshal, what was demolished or in soldiers? And the soldier, so it should be dressed as everything in form.
- Your Excellency, you yourself allowed him a campaign.
- Allowed? Allowed? Here you are always so, young people, "said the regimental commander, cooling a few. - Allowed? You will tell you anything, and you and ... - The regimental commander paused. - You say something, and you and ... - What? - He said, annoying again. - If you want to wear people decently ...
And the regimental commander, looking at the adjutant, his shudder went to the shelf. It was seen that his irritation himself liked himself, and that he, having gone around the regiment, wanted to find another pretext to his anger. Turning out one officer for a non-free sign, another for the irregularity of a number, he approached the 3rd company.
- Caaak cost? Where is the leg? Leg where? - shouted the regimental commander with an expression of suffering in his voice, another person in five no reaching to Dolokhova, dressed in a bluish chinel.
Shelokhov slowly straightened the bent foot and straight, with his bright and brazen look, looked into the face of the general.
- Why blue shinel? Down with ... Feldwebel! Disguise him ... Dry ... - He did not have time to finish.
"General, I have to fulfill orders, but is not obliged to transfer ... - Sharchov said hastily.
- At the front, do not talk! ... Do not talk, do not talk! ...
- It is not obliged to endure insults - loudly, sounded to Shard.
The eyes of the general and the soldier met. The general fell silent, angrily pulling the book to the tight scarf.
"Excuse me to change clothes, I ask you," he said, leaving.

- Rides! - shouted at this time, Mahaal.
The regimental commander, blushed, ran up to a horse, trembling his hands took up the stirrup, crushed the body, recovered, took out the sword and with a happy, decisive face, the next to the mouth was cooked. The regiment was fixed as a fixed bird, and froze.
- SMIR R R P O! - shouted the regimental commander to a stunning soul with a voice, joyful for himself, strict in relation to the regiment and friendly in relation to the approaching boss.
In wide, ash trees, a big, sophisticated road, a slightly melting sprouting by springs, trotting a high blue Vienna Tzugoma stroller. For the stroller, the suite and the convoy of the Croatians. Cutuzuz was sitting near the Austrian general in a strange, among the black Russians, white uniform. The stroller stopped at the shelf. Kutuzov and the Austrian general said quietly about something quietly, and Kutuzov smiled slightly, while heaving heavily, he lowered his leg with the footsteps, just as if there were no these 2,000 people who did not breathe on him and on the regimental commander .
There was a cry of the team, again the regiment of the link trembled, making a guard. In the dead silence, the weak voice of the commander-in-chief was heard. The regiment crushed: "Sred and desire, your go ago!" And again everything froze. First, Kutuzov stood in one place until the regiment moved; Then Kutuzov next to the White General, on foot, accompanied by a retreat, began to walk around the rows.
On how the regimental commander salted the commander-in-chief, poured into him with his eyes, pulling out and picking up, as a tilted forward went for generals in the ranks, barely holding the growing movement, as joined with every word and the movement of the commander-in-chief, - it was clear that he performed his duties Subordinate with great pleasure than the responsibilities of the Chief. The regiment, thanks to the rigor and diligence of the regimental commander, was in excellent condition relatively with others, who came at the same time to Brownau. The backward and patients were only 217 people. And everything was fine, except for shoes.
Kutuzov passed through the ranks, occasionally stopping and speaking several gentle words by officers whom he knew in Turkish war, and sometimes soldiers. Having glanced on shoes, he shouted his head sad several times and pointed to her Austrian General with such an expression that no one would reproached to this, but could not not see how bad. The regimental commander every time ran ahead, afraid to miss the word commander-in-chief regards. From behind Kutuzov, in such a distance, that any weakly uttered word could be heard, there was 20 suits. Lord Sweets talked between themselves and sometimes laughed. The closest adjutant was closer to the commander-in-chief. It was Prince Bolkonsky. Nearby it was his comrade Nesvitsky, high headquarters officer, extremely fat, with good, and smiling beautiful face and wet eyes; Nesvitsky barely held out of laughter, excited by the blacksmith hussar officer, who goes beside him. The hussar officer, not smiling, without changing the expressions of the stopped eyes, with a serious face looked at the back of the regimental commander and messed up his every movement. Each time the regimental commander shuddered and flex ahead, exactly the same, the hussars officer fucked and flex ahead. Nesvitsky laughed and pushed others to look at the feet.
Kutuzov walked slowly and sluggish past a thousand eyes, which turned out of their orbits, watching the boss. Having pouring with the 3rd mouth, he suddenly stopped. Sweet, without providing this stop, involuntarily shook at him.
- A, Timokhin! - said the commander in chief, recognizing the captain with a red nose victim for the blue sinel.
It seemed that it was impossible to stretch more than Timokhin stretched out, while the regimental commander did a remark. But at that moment of appeal to him, the commander-in-chief captain pulled out so that it seemed to look at him commander-in-chief of a few more time, the captain would not stand it; And therefore Kutuzov, apparently realizing his position and wanting, on the contrary, all kinds captain, hastily turned away. On a plump, the cutuzov's disheveled wounded face ran a slightly noticeable smile.
"More Izmailovsky Comrade," he said. - Brave officer! Are you satisfied with them? - asked Kutuzov at the regimental commander.
And the regimental commander, reflecting, as in the mirror, invisibly for himself, in the hussar officer, shuddered, went ahead and answered:
- Very pleased, your high stepper.
"We are not without weaknesses," Kutuzov said, smiling and leaving him. - He had a commitment to Bakhus.
The regimental commander was frightened, whether he was not guilty of that, and did not answer. The officer at that moment noticed the face of the captain with a red nose and the tightened belly and so much thought his face and the pose that Nesvitsky could not keep laughter.
Kutuzov turned around. It was seen that the officer could manage his face as he wanted: at that moment, as Kutuzov turned around, the officer managed to make a grimace, and after the time to take the most serious, respectful and innocent expression.
The third company was the last, and Kutuzov thought, apparently recalling something. Prince Andrei spoke out of the suit and french said softly:
- You ordered to remind the demolished dolokhov in this regiment.
- Where is Solokhov? - asked Kutuzov.
Shelokhov, already moved to the soldier's singer, did not wait, so that he was called. The slim figure of blonde with the clear blue eyes of the soldier spoke out of the front. He went to the commander-in-chief and made a guard.
- Claim? - frowned slightly, asked Kutuzov.
"It's share," said Prince Andrei.
- A! - said Kutuzov. - I hope that this lesson will fix you, serve good. Sovereign merciful. And I will not forget you, if you deserve.
Blue clear eyes looked at the commander-in-chief as bold, as well as on the regimental commander, as if by the expression, breaking the veil of conventions that separated so far commander-in-chief from the soldier.
"I ask about one, your high stepper," he said to his sonorous, solid, derepelling voice. "Please give me the case to cite my guilt and prove my loyalty to the sovereign to the emperor and Russia.
Kutuzov turned away. On his face, he flashed the same smile of his eyes, as at a time when he turned away from Timokhina captain. He turned away and frowned, as if he wanted to express this that everything she told him, and everything he could tell him, he had long known that all this had already bored him and that all this was not exactly what was needed . He turned away and headed for a stroller.
The regiment was understood by the Roths and headed for the appointed apartments to the Nevdax from Brownau, where he hoped to go, dress and relax after difficult transitions.
- You do not apply for me, Prokhor Ignatich? - said the regimental commander, circling the 3rd Rota moving to the place 3 and approaching her Timokhin captain of her in front. The face of the regimental commander expressed after a happily left-handed look. - The service of the tsarist ... it is impossible ... In another time you break through the front ... I myself apologize the first, you know me ... Thank you very much! - And he extended his hand to the Rotty.
- Mill, general, but if I dare! - answered the captain, blushing his nose, smiling and revealing a smile lack of two front teeth, knocked out with an plear.
- Yes, Mr. Dolokhov, say that I will not forget him, so that he was calm. Yes, please tell me, I wanted to ask what he was leading? And everything ...
"The service is very good, your Excellency ... But Karahter ..." said Timokhin.
- And what that is character? - asked the regimental commander.
- Finds your Excellency, days, - said Captain, - that's a smart, and scientist, and kind. And then the beast. In Poland killed enough, I love to know ...
"Well, yes, well, yes," said the regimental commander, "everyone must regret the young man in misfortunes." After all, big connections ... so you ...
- I listen, your Excellency, - Timokhin said, giving a smile to feel that he understands the desires of the chief.
- Yes Yes.
The regimental commander found in the ranks of Dologov and held a horse.
"To the first case - Eps," he said to him.
She looked back, did not say anything and did not change the expressions of his mockingly smiling mouth.
"Well, that's good," continued the regimental commander. - People in the charm vodka from me, - he added so that the soldiers heard. - Thank you all! Thank God! - And he, overtaking the company, drove up to another.
- Well, he, right, good man; It is possible to serve with him, "said Timokhin Subountern to the officer who goes beside him.
"One word, Chervoy! ... (The regimental commander called the Chervon King) - Laughing, said SubaLental officer.
The happy arrangement of the spirit of the authorities after the view passed and to the soldiers. Rota walked fun. From all sides, soldier's voice spoken.
- How did you say Kutuzov curve, about one eye?
- Oh no! Almost curve.
- Not ... Brother, Eye to you. Boots and exposure - everything looked around ...
- Like him, brother you are, I look at my feet ... well! I think ...
"And the other then Austria, he was, as if chalk smeared." Like flour, white. I am tea, how the ammunition is clean!
- What, Fedeshow! ... did he say, or if the defendants begin, were you closer? Everything spoke, in Brunov, Bunapart himself stands.
- Bunaparta stands! You are lying, fool! What does not know! Now Prussac Bunutuet. Austria Him, it means, satisfies. As he gets shaken, then with Bunaro war will open. And then, says, in Brunov, Bunapartes stands! It is clear that the fool. You listen more.
- Vish the devils of the apartments! The fifth company, looked, worst into the village, they boil porridge, and we will not reach the place before.
- Give Sukharik, Chort.
- And tobacco then gave yesterday? That brother. Well, on, God is with you.
- At least I would have done, and then there is no verst five from the bottom.
- that way there was like the Germans of the strollers applied to us. Going, know: important!
- And here, the brother, the people are completely frantic. Everything is as if the Pole was, the whole Russian crown; And now, brother, a solid German went.
- Songns forward! - I was heard the cry of the captain.
And before the company, twenty people ran out from different ranks. The drummer fought turned his face to the songwriters, and, having waved his hand, dragged the outstanding soldier's song, which began: "Does not be loaded, the sun is engaged ..." and ending with the words: "That, brothers, will be glory to us with a Kamensky father ..." This song has been folded Now in Turkey, now in Austria, only with the change that words are inserted into the place of Kamensky Father: "Kutuzov Father."
Tinging the soldiers of these last words and waving his hands, as if he threw something on the ground, the drummer, a dry and beautiful soldier of forty years, strictly looked at the songwriters and clogged. Then, making sure that all the eyes are directed to him, he seemed to carefully lifted some kind of invisible, the precious thing over his head, he held it so a few seconds and suddenly desperately threw her:
Oh, you, Seni My, Seni!
"Songy new my ...", picked up twenty votes, and a spider, despite the severity of the ammunition, jerkingly joined the forward and went back in front of his mouth, move his shoulders and threatening someone to spoons. Soldiers, in the ranks of songs waving their hands, went to a spacious step, unwittingly falling down. From behind the company heard the sounds of the wheels, pummage of the spring and the horses horses.
Kutuzov with a retinue returned to the city. The commander-in-chief made a sign so that people continue to go outbreak, and on his face and on all persons, his suits were a pleasure at the sounds of songs, at the sight of a dying soldier and fun and boyko walking company soldiers. In the second row, from the right flank, from which the stroller overtook the company, the blue-eyed soldiers rushed into the eyes, Shahov, who especially Boyko and gracefully walked into the ranks of the songs and looked at the faces passing with such an expression, as if he regretted everyone who did not go At this time with a roth. The Gusar Kornet from Kutuzov's Sweets, who had an opposing regimental commander, lagged behind the stroller and drove to Dolohov.

Anna Brazhna

Tatyana Nikitichna Tolstaya was born on May 3, 1951 in Leningrad. All her relatives were, one way or another, are associated with languages, literature. Father - Academician - Nikita Tolstoy philologist, grandfather Alexei Tolstoy was a writer, grandfather Mikhail Lozinsky - translator. The girl acted and successfully completed training at the philological faculty of LSU, in 1974 moved to the capital. Since then, its main work has become the main editorial board of Eastern literature under the publishing house.

The first works appeared during the Soviet Board. In 1983, in the magazine "Aurora" published "On the Golden Porch", later this name was the head of the book released in 1988 and included 13 stories. The first work as a critic was "glue and scissors". The period of the mid-80s was also fruitful for Tatiana Nikitichna in a literary plan, at that time approximately 20 of its stories came out (among them "Circle", "Cute Shura", "Fakir", "Circle" and others), and also published a story "Plot" "

As for the perception of works by Tatiana Tatstoy critics and readers, there were no uniform opinions. Someone her swung for too large volumes and the difficulty of reading works for a short time, someone liked it on the contrary, and it was said that her books are read in one breath, but the plot construction scheme is repeated from the work in the work, and it gives a feeling Some artificiality.

Literary intellectual circles perceived Tatiana Nikitichna very favorably, she won the authority of the original and at the same time not going on whose footsteps of the writer. The characters of her prose were mainly "city woundings" who died in a brutal burghers. The manner of pretended by the reader of the heroes and the events described was also peculiar. Most often, what was happening, as the cinema frames, the words belonging to different semantic layers of the language were aburred into speech, the heroes were presented with "removed" angle.

At that time, it was believed that Shklovsky, Tyanyanov and Remizov had a great influence on the work of the writer. If we talk about the last, then the abundance of "extra" words in his work was used mainly to approach the initial meanings of words, turning to the archaic layers of the language. Shklovsky and Tynyanov, which seemed to be redundant descriptions as soon as possible to describe the subject. As for Tatiana Nikitichna, this technique was reworked by it into a peculiar method of paradoxical combinations. Andrei Nemzer believed that Esthetism's early story was more important than Moralism for Tatiana.

From that moment on, the colon biography is filled with numerous events that took place in her life. Since the beginning of the 90s, the writer went to America and stayed there until the beginning of the next millennium. The main goal of her trip was the possibility of teaching Russian literature. Thick became a member of the editorial board "Capital" in 1991, then she was the author of "his column" published in the Moscow Vedomosti. At that time, several translated works on European and some other languages \u200b\u200bwere published. In Moscow, in 1997, she reprinted her stories, uniting their one book "You love - do not love", the year later appeared written together with Natalia Tolstoy, "Sisters".

The beginning of the century was marked by the release of a new novel with the name "Cas". It told about Russia after a nuclear explosion. The picture was extremely pessimistic: absolute degradation, almost lost Russian, people who exist only according to the rules "cats - mice" game, after huge cities, only small wise villages remained. The sexuality of the characters is drawn by extremely coarse and primitive, among the heroes - solid negative personality. In a word, there was a lot of sarcasm in the novel. Russian readers living in other countries reacted ambiguously. Writer Boris Paramonov, who also lived at the time in the States, compared the life of Tolstoy with Nabokov, wrote that if the first in the works had large and strong angels, then the present novel can be considered "the blow of the angel wing." Russia perceived the novel is not entirely enthusiastic, but a certain recognition of the skill of the word Tatiana Nikitichna was still. She considered her story so "tasty that fingers license" Writer Boris Akunin.

In 2000 and later, they reprinted numerous stories and novels Tolstoy. In 2000, the Okkervil River. In 2001, "Night", the publicistic collection "Day", "personal", then the works of Natalia and Tatiana united in one book "Day. Miscellanea". In 2002, the Book "Raisin" was published.

There were various opinions about the writers of the writer. The writer Boris Paramonov was reigning due to the fact that the fatal despised traditional American values, many Russian critics considered her opinion correctly, said that Tatiana's essay had better prose. The prize in the nomination "Prose" went to Tatiana Nikitichna in 2001 on the 14th Moscow International Book Fair. A little later, in the same year the writer was obtained by the prestigious Prize "Triumph".

In 2002, we saw Tolstoy and televisers: it appeared in the program "School of Crossing" with the Writer and the leading Dueen Smirnova.
