Sasha Was Here

"Sasha Was Here" is a collection of stories dedicated not so much to A. S. Pushkin himself, but to our relationship with him — as a beloved poet and as a living, close person. The pages of the book contain various stories — cheerful and not so much, philosophical and mystical, instructive and romantic: about school and classmates, about teachers and parents, and, of course, about Pushkin. How did the students of class 5 'B' analyze the conflict in 'The Tale of the Dead Tsarevna and the Seven Heroes' using a chemical reaction as an example? Who did Kostya Semechkin discuss his literary composition with? Who did Alexander Sergeyevich scold? What could a poem-reversal of the poem 'Winter Morning' look like? You will find out about all this by reading the stories, from each line of which Pushkin peeks out: smiling, frowning, winking, and shrugging his hands — not a bronze monument and the Sun of Russian poetry, but a person — alive, close, and very modern.
