About the book: 2011 / The text in this edition is published in the author's edition. Here's what Alexey Ivanov himself says about this: “Azbuka restored the original text (often with obscene jokes and sayings of my hero, which were cleaned up by the shy Vagrius”). But most importantly, it restored the previous structure, the “three circles” in the hero’s fate - his life as a schoolboy, his life as a teacher and his life on a hike. In the version of “Vagrius”, the “schoolboy’s circle” was chopped into pieces and scattered throughout the text (and half of it even woke up past the book. Now I’m happy and can get it in my head with full feeling). merit of this act." Alex® Outwardly, the plot of the book is simple. Young biologist Viktor Sluzhkin, due to lack of money, goes to work as a geography teacher in an ordinary Perm school. He fights, and then becomes friends with the students, conflicts with the head teacher, and leads the ninth-graders on a trip to raft the river. He also drinks wine with friends, tries to get along with his wife and takes his little daughter to kindergarten. He just lives... But Alexei Ivanov wrote this simple personal story so desperately, so tenderly and so poignantly that “The Geographer drank the globe away.” this happens with wonderful books, it has become a story about everyone. Everyone who has ever been confused or lost in life. Everyone who sometimes felt as endlessly lonely as Viktor Sluzhkin. Everyone who, despite loneliness and melancholy, never lost the ability to feel and love. ABC®
