'Pelagia and the White Bulldog "Boris Akunin
After reading the book" Pelagia and the White Bulldog " I know that in the world, there are two certain things: death (no one here is probably to convince the universality of the phenomenon) and the fact that if the reader after the book reaches Akunin , that it will meet a real literary treat.
'Pelagia and the White Bulldog " is the first of three books in the series" Crime provincial, or the adventures of Sister Pelagia. The story takes place in the nineteenth Russia, Zawołżeu. The text is a record of extraordinary adventures, resolute and brilliant nun, Pelagia title. The sisters, who through the patronage of Bishop Mitrofaniusza has a chance to develop their talents to explain all the charade and puzzles. Nun is distinguished not only extraordinary talent deductive, but also a distinctive appearance - undeniably useful red-haired head of hair and freckles, whose sister, with great obstinacy is trying to get rid of. Pelagia is a restless spirit, which, though often trips over his own habit, the mind is incredibly agile and receptive. At the same time solving the mystery of death of white bulldogs, whose owner - the aunt of Bishop, generals Tatiszczewa, dies of grief after losing loved ones pupilów. Seemingly "trivial crime", however, has the second floor. Is there a way to finish cioteczki and selection to its decline? Is a "dog crime 'is a show of extraordinary cruelty, is to bring some life into a boring existence of inhabitants of property? Who is guilty? General's grandchildren - Nina, Peter? A newcomer to the inspector may the Holy Synod, Bubiencow? Do not worry, Pelagia brave resolve the matter, just let it run.
Books Akunin is a masterpiece of popular literature. The author perfectly able to combine elements of the so-called. literature "pop" and the literature of higher flight, give the text, which, although simple in perception many delights nawiązaniami (today would use the phrase hipertekstowość publication) is his great, quality (and not only!) predecessors. Because Writing Akunin - as the reviewer rightly newspaper "Izvestia" is a mixture Agatha Christie, Dostoyevsky, Borges and Umberto Eco. [1]
pleased therefore that that under the guise of a pleasant story, manages to smuggle a Russian author of a work of considerable, which also requires the reader's effort intellectual, even in search of numerous cultural and literary contexts. Akunin enchants, delights and enchants. Therefore, I follow bravely for her sister Pelagia ... luckily I still remained two volumes.
There is no doubt.
My rating: 6 / 6.
