Dina Rubina is a master of conflict. Especially that acute, sometimes tragic, side of which turns out to be man and history. Every time the writer puts the hero in an almost hopeless situation. A miracle is what saves him from the whirlpool of events beyond the limits of cruelty (“Adam and Miriam”). And also family ties based on love and respect (“Children of the House of Etinger”). And of course, art that returns the status of a creator to a humiliated person reduced to a state of dust (“Old Woman Baobab”, “Porcelain Ideas”). Contains obscene language
