"Deniska's Stories" by Viktor Dragunsky were written half a century ago and became a favorite book of three generations. Anyone who first heard or read “Deniska’s Stories” in childhood now reads them to their grandchildren. Much has changed during this time. When Deniska Korablev went to school, life was completely different. Different streets, different cars, different yard, different houses and apartments. Other phones, TVs and pens. Why does Deniska swim on Tuesdays? What is “glass container acceptance”? Why does dad take “two kopecks for a machine gun” from his son? What is “one Guatemala and two Barbados”? How did they play hide and seek in the corridor of a communal apartment? Who is the “October counselor”? And most importantly: are all these adventures true or fiction? Everyone knows that Deniska is the son of Viktor Dragunsky. And Mishka, Alenka and teacher Raisa Ivanovna - were they there too? What about the semolina porridge that Deniska poured out of the window? On the centenary of the birth of Viktor Dragunsky (1913 - 1972), the AST publishing house published this unusual book. Next to Deniska’s Stories, detailed explanations by Denis Dragunsky were printed. About what happened and what didn’t happen. About inkwells and bicycles, about neighbors and friends, about general's buttons and soda with syrup. Read this book and you will find out the whole truth! Source: ?tu003d4583717
