Emigration, shadow by the fire

Emigration is an old phenomenon, having survived the peak of poeticization during the First World War and being heavily romanticized thanks to Vasily Kandinsky, Ivan Bunin, and Fyodor Shalyapin.
People leave their homeland not just for any reason — it is... a huge test of character, a certain break and shift of fate, a challenge that a person throws not only to themselves but to the world. The greatest artists of the early last century and modernity have gone through emigration, and Dina Rubina has not escaped it, whose creativity has become an unquestionable tuner of Russian literature at the end of the century.
In this book, the author has specifically gathered stories related in one way or another to the theme of finding new land and renouncing the old land. There is humor, sadness, irony, and compassion that embraces all who have just experienced this or who are yet to face it.
The experience of emigration cannot be universal, and yet it — passed down from a great artist — has the property of helping and supporting.
This is exactly why this book was conceived.
