Scholia. Simple and complex stories about people
14.99 €
"Scholia" - the first work of large form in the work of Father Alexander Dyachenko, the author of several prose collections, long loved by Orthodox readers. In the center of the narrative - a true diary story of a woman whose share fell a lot: a hungry childhood, war, collectivization, persecution of the Church, the loss of the only daughter, then a grandson. On this story as if "strung" others - Father Alexander himself about his parishioners, friends and relatives, about himself. Joyful and terribly sad, funny and eerie, written poignantly and with deep compassion for people, in each of whom the author sees first of all the Light, they form the second line of the book - scholia - that is, notes in the margins. For those who appreciate the author's sincere tone, who expect from prose real human stories, warmth and, most importantly, love, this book is a gift. After all, despite the abundance of literature on the bookshelves, a lively, warm, close to everyone word - still a great rarity. Fr. Alexander knows how to carry such a word.
