Collected Works. Volume 2. 1988-1993

The second volume of the collected works of the classic of Russian literature Yuri Polyakov includes two of his most famous novellas, "Apotheosis" and "Kostya Gumankov's Parisian Love," which have delighted readers for over thirty years with their psychological depth, originality, and unique sense of humor. The author's essays included here, "What is 'Apotheosis'?" and "How I Wrote 'Parisian Love'," open a door into the writer's creative laboratory, revealing how the bestsellers were conceived and created, reprinted dozens of times, adapted to film, and translated into many languages.
