Many book resources make up their own ratings of the most readable authors, book-best-selling books, tops of the goods sold (Royallib.com, Bookz.ru, Litres. Ozon.ru, Labyrinth.ru, read-town, LiveLib.ru). We present the "twenty" of the most popular modern writers of Russia, whose works can be found in the Foundation of the Centralized Library System of Volgodonsk.

Speaking of modern Russian literature should not be remembered about the masters of writing novels.

Lyudmila Ulitskaya. A bright representative of Russian literature of the post-Soviet period. The prose began to write when she was forty. According to her own words: "At first, the children raised, then became a writer." The first collection of stories of the writer "Poor relatives" was published in 1993 in France and was published in French. The book by Ulitskaya "Medea and her children" brought it among the finalists of the 1997 bookberry premium and made a truly famous. The "Big Book" premiums were awarded: a collection of stories "People of Our Tsar", "Daniel Stein, Translator", who received the status of bestseller. In 2011, Ulitskaya presented the Roman "Green Tent", telling about the dissidents and life of the people of the sixties. The autobiographical prose and essistics of the writer was included in the Book "Sacred garbage", published in 2012. The fans of the writer characterize her work exclusively as a bold, subtle, intelligent.

Aleksey Ivanov. Qualitative Russian prose in the genre of realism. The words of one critic about the fact that "Prose Alexey Ivanov - the gold wanders of Russian literature" often reproduce on the covers of his books. Ivanov's heroes - whether the mythical voguli of the XV century ("heart of the Parma"), semi-imnyy heavers of the 18th century ("Gold Bunt") or mythologized modern perm ("Geographer Globe"), they speak a special language and think in a special way. All works are very different, but they are united by a subtle author humor, gradually turning into satire. The writer Alexei Ivanov is notable for emphasizing his "provinciality", nevertheless, in any novel, carefully ensures that the plot rushes through all the laws of the Hollywood militant. His last novel "Baddance" was ambiguously accepted by the reading public. Some talk about the cardboardness and lifelessness of the heroes, the beating of the criminal theme, others - with delight respond to the science of the writer to create a portrait of our contemporary - a man brought up during socialism who received a good Soviet education, and during the global Society of the Society of the Society for one on one with his conscience and questions.
