About the book: 1991 / Friedrich Gorenstein is one of the brightest and most original talents of modern Russian literary abroad. His fate is dramatic, having published the story “The House with a Turret” in the magazine “Youth” in 1964, which was noted by connoisseurs of literature, Gorenstein then could not publish a single line, although he worked a lot, inspiredly and fruitfully. This collection of Gorenstein includes works written by the writer in his homeland and in exile over a quarter of a century. They are distinguished by high drama, subtle and insightful psychological analysis, harsh realism of everyday life descriptions and deep moral and philosophical issues..
