Roman Arbitman Biography

Now Arbitman has published a political biography on behalf of the Gursky. Its action takes place in an alternative world, where Boris Yeltsin was the first president of Russia, as expected, but Roman Arbitman was the second. It turned out funny, although a little tightened. ” But while this does not happen, the reader can enjoy or resent the funny reading, correlating the plots and dialogues fictitious by the author with the true facts of post -perestroika Russia and restoring the sensational stories, speculations, scandals of the last two decades.

” The newspaper "Saratov alignment" "Unrivaled Literary Mystifier, Gursky created an incredible symbiosis of alternative history and a malicious parody of the famous series of ZhZL. The alternative line begins to branch out of the tree of the latest Russian history at the beginning of X, when the modest Saratov teacher Roman Ilyich Arbitman not to be confused with the author, Roman Emilievich is unexpectedly appointed by the assistant to the head of state in order to become the second president of the great power and lead the country to economic and cultural prosperity by the year.

” The magazine "Profile" "As it reads it, it turns out that the arbitman from the name of the book is not the one that is from life. Not Emilievich, that is, but Ilyich. Laughter does not subside, and in the course of stuck there there is something to flip out - both the tab with photographs, and the reference apparatus: a named index, bibliography, the date of life of the hero.

But the fact is that before us is not Hochma, this enterprise is not limited to humor. In reality, the matter is serious: Lev Gursky, known, albeit cheerful, but evil conspiracy the fighters about the Russian authorities, designed alternative Russia - a country that we are not worthy. And if you do not feel that everything that happens on its pages is pure fiction, the author’s literary mythology, so you got caught, ”you are caught.” Instructions for use ”“ In his parody of the now popular biographies of New Smakers, Lev Gursky used only real names.

But it is unlikely that all this will seriously hurt someone from the monograph-hokhma: Gursky prefers the irony and, even moving to persons, ridicules exclusively media phantoms. ” The techniques on which the book is being built are somewhat monotonous and in places tire, but in general, the technique of turning facts into artifacts Gursky demonstrates to the envy of the inventive one.

And the unraveling of all kinds of puzzles, sharad and puzzles in Gursky’s books have long turned into a special sport for its admirers. His Roman Ilyich Arbitiman is a universal hero of modern life, literature and politicians, the focus of all the main archetypes of his time: Superman and democrat, a phenomenon and a shirt-part, a descendant of the Lifland Barons and the grandson of the historian Gershenzon.

And R. No wonder the hero of the book was at the time of Yeltsin as Minister for Special Assignments. The biography of the president of Arbitman is a cycle of impressive triumphs. He foresaw everything, defeated everyone, helped everyone. Gursky’s book is largely a caricature of the political atmosphere of Russia x ”. The magazine "Lehaim" "The new Gursky project is something like a political apocryph.

The jokes here are very concise, which saves the text from turning into garbage. Around the arbitman, as if nothing had happened, real characters from Boris Yeltsin to Joan Rowling are found, and the president himself regularly performs his functions. After working out two terms per year, he joins the cosmonauts detachment and is serving the constellations of Cassiopei.

Photos are attached to the text that captures the real Roman Arbitman in the company of various historical figures, as well as a parody bibliography and a list of names. No matter what this opus is considered - by the development of a simple absurd reception or an ironic response to the president’s allegedly observed sacralization, the author took a step away from the usual satire, albeit uncertain.

” Magazine "Home! But the book is not a simple mania of a person, bruised by a meteorite on the head, probably from a few truthful autobiographical moments of the book. She claims to be more - for almost the first liberal utopia in modern Russia ... "The magazine" Banner "" The book can be attributed to the so -called alternative fiction. She is multi -layered. This is a parody of biographical studies, so common in the Soviet regime, on their stamped state style.

And a parody of a badly designed and also written modern science fiction, put by many authors and publishers on stream. And a parody of the blindness of the worldview of many readers, on the primitiveness of their thinking, limited perception. A fantastic assumption is that magic crystal through which a lot of absurd and ridiculous in our modern life is clearly visible.

Therefore, the Gursky book is not a documentary chronicle, but a work of art. ” The real personalities of Yeltsin, Clinton, Roy Medvedev, Khodorkovsky appear before us in the game space, which fascinates some kind of fabulous authenticity.Yes, yes, we have a fairy tale with a happy ending. The author is trying to spell on a very strict and unpleasant life, offering a parallel universe, in which, as in a good literary work, the plot lines are carefully built, and almost real events are fitted into a certain encouraging unity.

Gursky’s book is primarily good prose, this is a funny and ulcerative book. ” The Internet Gazeta “View” “The Philologist turned the world of Russia entrusted to him and read the book of history - gg. The Fantastic magazine St. Petersburg, not only in making up new spacecraft and an ethnographically accurate description of alien races, consists of a science fiction writer’s skill, but also in an unexpected view of the usual phenomena, characters, and concepts.

The highest aerobatics of postmodern game with words is all the more useful than militaristic fighters. ” Of course, one could not focus on the nationality of the protagonist of the new book of Gursky, if the author himself had not done this on its pages. ” Internet site www. Here, it seems to me, it is important to clarify two points. Firstly, before us is not a book about the arbitman, what the arbitman would like to see ourselves, but a book about Russia, which we all would like to see, but which, alas, will never happen and never will happen.

Neither a sense of proportion, nor a sense of tact was changed. Bottom line: an excellent novel, perhaps, is one of the best in the domestic science fiction of the outgoing year. ” But she has no more chance of becoming a bestseller than the real novel by Emilievich Arbitman - to become the president of Russia. ” Even in Russia. It is enough to follow common sense, not to succumb to negative emotions, not to listen to bad advice, and most importantly - not to be afraid, occupying the highest state post, to remain a simple and honest person.

But this is no longer the problem of Gursky or Arbitman. ” All rights to information on the site are protected in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
