About this ebook:
„Võõrad lapsed” sisaldab kahte novellitsüklit Ljudmila Ulitskaja lapsepõlvest Moskvas vahetult pärast Teist maailmasõda. Neis novellides elustuvad 1943. aastal sündinud kirjaniku lapsepõlve lõhnad ja meeleolud, aga ka hirmud, unistused, kahtlused ja ihad. Lugejale avaneb Stalini-aegse hiidriigi pealinna varjatud kastiühiskond, kus näilisele võrdsusele vaatamata kehtivad ranged seisusevahed. Ent eeskätt on tegemist meisterlikult kirja pandud lühiproosaga, mis jätkab Anton Pavlovitš Tšehhovi traditsioone. Need on liigutavad, siirad, naljakad ja nukrad väikesed lood, millest kumab läbi Kõiketeadva Jutustaja täiskasvanu-tuleviku vari.LJUDMILA ULITSKAJA (snd 1943) on üks tänapäeva Venemaa kõige tuntumaid, tõlgitumaid ja populaarsemaid prosaiste. Tema lasepõlvenovellid ilmusid vene keeles 2000. aastate alguses.
