Emigration is an enduring phenomenon, romanticized by figures like Wassily Kandinsky, Ivan Bunin, and Feodor Chaliapin, reaching a peak during World War I. Leaving one's homeland is a profound test of character, a significant break and shift in destiny, a challenge hurled at oneself and the world. Many of the greatest artists of the past and present have experienced emigration, including Dina Rubina, whose work has become a benchmark in late 20th-century Russian literature. In this collection, Rubina gathers stories that explore the theme of finding new ground while abandoning the old, rich with humor, sadness, irony, and deep compassion, offering solace and understanding through the lens of great art.
