According to the author, the calendar, a purely applied, extremely ephemeral thing, is a bright and instructive sign of its time, perhaps more visual than objects of so-called high culture. It's designed to last for a year, but tends to stick in your memory for decades. The famous poet and prose writer Lev Rubinstein offers the reader his calendar, where every day is marked by some event, memory, eloquent detail preserved by a whimsical memory, in which the era is strangely and surprisingly refracted... Where seemingly ordinary everyday little things suddenly amaze with their unexpected depth and the warmth of living life.
