Kazan, Sheep and Dastarkhan by Stalik Hankishiev

2011-09-21T00:30:00.014+04:00

If the first book by Stalik Hankishiev was "a book of rice", the second - a real Encyclopedia of meat. More precisely, the question of mutton - the most important precursors for cooking in Central Asia and Azerbaijan, the gastronomic culture of which the author dedicates his work.

As before, Stalik says it all: in gastronomy most importantly is the very heart of the matter to understand, not memorize someone else's instructions and recipes. To eat the same way, with the same enthusiasm and skill as a writer, cook by yourself, you need a real interest in the case, and more - a bit of intuition and imagination free. And because the most important thing in this book even is not recipes.

Step by step, Stalik explains how to choose the best market for the meat, then how to cut it, nothing is lost and does not collapse, how to determine the ideal destination for each piece of meat, and how, ultimately, make out of it fine delicious and unique dishes. And thanks to the unique author's photographs, the obvious becomes the most important part, and the whole story takes on added meaning and splash bright rich colors.

The new book is more meaningful, more consistent ideologically. I, as I could, tried to tell you about a matter of fact, than about any recipe. Yes, the recipes in the book are, plenty of them and they are more than detailed. But these recipes serve only to illustrate a much more important story about the principles and technologies.

Photo as Haiku by Boris Akunin

2011-09-20T11:27:00.011+04:00

This is an amazing book of all with whom I had to deal with in my editorial and publishing life. I advise you to read the book as I did.
First look at the photos carefully and try to guess who this man was and how there was this life.
Then read the story and check your perspicacity.

Boris Akunin

The new project by Boris Akunin dedicated to the "Photo as Haiku". The book, which will be published by Zakharov publishing house in end of October, contains about a hundred short stories by various people, not professional writers, and ordinary people about their loved ones. The stories are quite different - in style, mood and form. What unites them is that they are accompanied by photographs of heroes from different years of life: three (when this photo a haiku) or five (and then this photo as a tanka (new name for waka)).

Overall, the book leaves the impression of a certain chronicle of Russia, no doubt the truth of life, easy to read and has a powerful emotional impact.

Inform co-authors of the book "Photo as haiku," that I recieved from the publisher finished layout. I read through, with all the pictures, and convinced that the book was absolutely wonderful. It is possible, of course, that I biased. As a writer of fiction, I love the original stories about real people and still love the old photos. But it seems to me that the two main components of this book - the memory and love - in a strong concentration will act on anyone.

So, the publisher has completed its work. The book is due out in late October. This could happen even earlier, the delay came because of me. I have to write a preface, but can not. First you need to finish my current job - do not know how to switch from one mode to another letter.

Number of printed copies, as expected, is 5000. I think it will end quickly. Perhaps the author has a sense of order in advance the appropriate number of copies.

Patericon is modern, without lies and embellishments, with humor and kindness - so characterize a new book by Archimandrite Tikhon in most reviews.

Nikita Mikhalkov said that this beautiful prose written by a talented person. "I think that talking about intimate totally different people and not always to church - this is very calm and thorny path to God. This book is a great contribution in the same way, to which people aspire to, but who can not find a path. Most importantly, the book is full of truth, we are looking for and we are striving for, "- he said.

Boris Lyubimov believes that the book is written not only with a sense of literary expression, but also with a good sense of humor. "I read the book three times. In it we see moments of weakness of people, from which no one is immune. Who will read this book, will see parts of the continent of the future of the XXI century, but at the same time, it fragments confession, sermons, parables, and, most importantly for me, it was written by a man of the Church, the monastic life. "

Archimandrite Tikhon himself said: "The word" church "is equipped for most of our compatriots mass stereotypes that are sometimes extremely unattractive. But it's amazing world that you can easily enter and feel it a real citizen, member of an amazing and incomparable life".

2011-08-24T10:35:00.013+04:00

Prose by Andrey Makarevich like his drawings. A few light strokes - and already you see the picture, hear sounds, smell and feel over time.

- And by the way, why an apple is Adam? Generally speaking, the whole initiative came from Eve. Adam just showed weakness. This is Eva's apple! And Adam's apple so named, apparently, because Eva's apple Adam rose in the throat?

Yegor got to grow in a strange time. About the time this book were written, filmed, thinked of "mountain of lies". But the smell of his breath he is remembered only by those who found it while those who breathed its air. The huge unwieldy country that threatened the world the atomic bomb, then showered the golden rain of newborn African countries, whose inhabitants have only just emerged from the jungle. And it's sons kept in a black body, and nothing clever at it it turned out, and there was neither rich nor poor, because if not rich, how can you understand that the poor are all, and well-being was considered unattainable car "Volga" and suburban area of six acres, and all talked a bit off what they think, and did a little is not something that I wanted, and went to the party meeting, and unanimously raised their hands, welcoming the historic decision of the congress, and in panic, afraid of silence power, and borrowed five rubles to pay, and returned on time, and quietly stood in endless queues for kefir, sausage and port wine "Kavkaz", and a jar of saury can be seen only in the holiday grocery ordering for special distribution and the book "The Three Musketeers" get by passing the twenty kilograms of waste paper ...

As soon recovering himself from the unpredictable and, frankly, frightening tale ending of "Eva's apple", the reader is under the bombardment of sharp, high-capacity miniature. In these stories there are reflections about love and life, music and art, about the causes and consequences, about our complex world. Observation of successful talented person, his mocking glance, copyrights, drawings, and specific, recognizable in the text of the intonation bends commonplace and make them look at the new look. Look which shares with us Andrey Makarevich.
