Today and Daily

Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunskiy 1913–1972 — writer and playwright, theater, film and circus actor, creator of the variety theater of miniatures "Blue Bird" and author of the famous "Deniska's Stories". This book includes Viktor Dragunskiy's "adult" prose. It may seem that... Viktor Dragunskiy's "adult" stories and novellas are strikingly different from his "children's" ones. Laughter, joy, a carefree child's delight — the adventures of Deniska Korablev and his friends. War, hunger, loneliness, disappointment, big and small dramas — the novellas "He Fell on the Grass...", "Today and Daily", the stories "The Old Ladies", "Distant Shura", "A Strange Spot on the Ceiling". However, if we look closely and read carefully, we will see that Dragunskiy's children's and adult prose are not so different... Denis Dragunskiy A special, trusting tone makes Dragunskiy's prose truthful, like a confession. He considers you an intelligent, kind, all-understanding interlocutor, he is not afraid to appear sentimental, naive, moved to helplessness. And this tone is captivating. Yuri Nagibin
