Andrey Platonov (1899-1951) is rightfully considered one of the best writers of the 20th century. However, recognition came to him only after death. The novel "Chevengur" was written in 1926-1929, but never saw the light of day during the author's lifetime. This is not just the largest Platonic novel in terms of volume, but also a kind of milestone in the artist's work. In it, the writer subjected to a critical revision, sometimes bringing to the point of absurdity, the "ultra-revolutionary" ideas that were expressed in his early works.Chevengur is the name of the city where a group of communists, intending to make an instant "jump" into communism , organizes the end of the world - the "second coming" for the local bourgeoisie. As a result of the mass execution, all the inhabitants of the city were killed. From this moment, according to the communists, the “end of history” comes - the former has stopped, and a blissful life has come in a world without exploitation, in which the only worker is the sun. In an effort to populate the city with new people, the Chevengurs gather "proletarians" - poor wanderers - across the steppe. However, the Chevengur commune is perishing.Human existence is in the bloody chaos of the revolution and civil war... The fate of the country is in a fragment of the fate of one person... The way of the cross of the nation as the life path of an innocent victim of the "turning era".< p>"Chevengur". A terrible and beautiful book!..
