so-called "documentary" of the book - it is a dangerous thing that can bring the author or the reader's heartfelt "thank you" or distorted "Fe." If this documentary in the style of travelling, or the reader (with money) will pack their bags and go on a journey, occasionally pulling out a book that inspired, or (without money) shook his head sadly, and go to dream, or thought irritably that spent the time to read or something else, like: "I would their capabilities, I would have written a hundred times better».
So, thanks to Ukrainian writers and publishers of native reader was already the fourth travelling-ную book in a series of "Travel". After "In Search of Ogopogo" Lesia Voronina, and "The Mexican Chronicles" and "Journey to the Navel of the Earth" Maxim Kindruk published "Travels without meaning and morality" Irene Rozdobudko. Actually, the fourth book and will be discussed. Rozdobudko first describes his journey (and, incidentally, and Voronin) in a separate book. Here ten stories about ten countries - small in volume, so the book is too small, however - in a binder. This book may be well to consider.
on the cover of a magic carpet on which a few jars, a laptop, a cup of coffee and Irene herself Rozdobudko a friendly wave of his hand to the reader, offering a peek under the cover. The reader familiar with the ten countries through the experiences of the author. Finland, Sweden, Croatia, Egypt, Malaysia, Greece, Czech Republic, USA, Israel, Malta opened its secrets only picky viewers, who want to see everything. Oh, and make a reservation at Her Majesty Chance, whose existence was denied some skepticism, they say, what you are and your tendencies, so there is nothing here about the chance to speak. Perhaps it's true, but in the book Rozdobudko accidents allocated too much space. They turn into adventures - sometimes funny, sometimes not. As this omission travel agency about an hour flight and "happiness" to be in a foreign country with $ 20 for two. But still more pleasant. That there is only a distant relative, found where the author and not hoped to see someone familiar.From the book by Irene
Rozdobudko the reader learns that in Finland better pay attention to the kitchen, and the most pleasant word for the Finns, they want to hear from a tourist is "herkulista," which means - "very tasty". Even here there is a ghost, beer, and many traces of history. For example, Finns like to drink beer in the "closet" - that kind of humor in people who call their cellars are not romantic with words, but quite mundane ("School", "Pharmacy", "Toilet", the "Bank"), and do everything to Brewers fans feel exactly the way a person feels in such institutions.
The reader will also visit places in Sweden, which are not always read, become an instant kid stand up to the author ("sagely") on a gilded rostrum, where the utter genius of his speeches the world, receiving the Nobel.
dual impression left after the "visit" Croatia: good - after a story about a woman who cooks delicious coffee is not very good - after a story about pristavuchem taxi driver who tried to seduce Mrs. Irene, acting boldly and cheeky. A small digression: I saw recently in an interview with the online Rozdobudko in which the journalist called this grief-Casanova pohotliytsem and even withdrew his place in the header. As for me, it's very loud and unfair. It is a pity that the book in the chapter on Croatia, the man miraculously became "hallmark" of local men who are unlikely.
Malaysia will meet the reader's beautiful clothes, beautiful women and monkeys, as well as the adventures of the author. A section of the Maltese admirers Rozdobudko meet a mysterious janitor and lover morning Michael.However
merged into a single story about Egypt and Greece. And there, and there are too many people from former Soviet countries. They come here to scrimp and relax as soon as they can. (Again the retreat - when you read, can not help recalling an anecdote: "The Egyptians wondering: just how tired the Russians, if it really relaxing.") Whatever it was, they have spoiled the mood of the author, as the reader. Russians especially with cheap fur coats in Greece. By the way, the reader is worse - he of the Russians could not get around and do not pay attention. But it is waiting for recreation in Crete, where the four seas, the protection of Zeus and unique history of Crete compensate for the experience of aunts with fur coats.
pleasantly surprised in the U.S. "execution" Rozdobudko. Such unexpected, those in which you want to go (even though the story of the traffickers and the life of prostitutes).
story about Israel turned out to be the author of "family." There she was with friends along with her beloved man, in whose works a lot of references to Israel. Irene Rozdobudko generously introduces the reader to the poetry of her husband.
I like that - at a gallop, not only in Europe. It remains to mention the fact that each story complete list of famous writers - representatives from each of the above countries as well - the author's recommendations as to what it is from their repertoire should take a look. Another highlight - recipes in each country. But ... read in an interview with the author's confession that she had nothing of the writing is not ready, I did not dare to be first. Maybe someone from readers will be more daring.As
would not want the bad, but - nothing but the truth. I do not know in whose garden stone (apparently, publishers), but the book lacks illustrations. Photo left (there are dozens) "pale", even though the plot - quite interesting. Almost all - the author himself, actively showing itself to the reader in different countries, but this is not enough. I would like more, because this journey, where better to see once than, well, you know.
And one more thing. Warn readers: if you buy the book, carefully count the pages. My copy somewhere "lost" their - from the 16th to the thirty-third. Technical marriage can be different, but the publisher himself respects, then, perhaps, the reader should respect?
