Long live the ficus! 1936 — a bitter, ironic novel that is largely autobiographical. The main character — Gordon Comstock, an unrecognized poet, a failed writer forced to work in an advertising agency to earn a living. He has a... real talent for writing slogans, but his job fills him with disgust, seeming a caricature of literary creativity. He despises material values and the banality of everyday life, symbolized by the ficus in the window. He blames money for all his failures, but proud poverty only drives him deeper into depression… Comstock needs to understand that besides high art, there are also simple joys, and there is nothing shameful in the desire to earn money. What will save him?
