The famous literary historian of the 20th century, a world-famous expert on Bulgakov’s work and the author of his “Biography”, as well as the author of the most fascinating detective story for teenagers “The Cases and Horrors of Zhenya Osinkina” talks about books that you should read at all costs up to 16 years old - in no case later! Because the books on this Golden Shelf, collected for you by Marietta Chudakova, are so cunningly written that if you are late and start reading them as adults, you will never get the pleasure that is contained in them specifically for you - and it disappears from them as your growing up. But someone who read, say, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” before the age of 16, can then re-read them as many times as he likes until he is very old. Every time he will get kilograms of pleasure!
