Dumas - When did the beloved father was seven years old, she read "The Three Musketeers". In time. And I did not have time early childhood. Somehow did not work. Not formed leisure, although the book was in the house. Leisure was formed in late childhood. I took the book in his hands, read a couple of pages and realized that too late. I must say that I'm not too upset, since this case was not the first and not the last. Passed me, for example, Fenimore Cooper. So what? Its share of adventure job impresona I received from "Dirk", "Two Captains" and the other quite soundly romantic literature. In addition, domestic. It was insulting to Hesse, who also came later desired ... But I'm about Dumas. - Sonia - I said daughter - you already eight years old, and you learn at the French school, and the cow is not doena, in the sense - "The Three Musketeers" has not yet been read. But your mother, among other things, etc. So book appeared in the house. To avoid suspicion immediately cite technical data: Moscow, "Fiction, 1976 Translation V.Valdman, D.Livshits, K.Ksaninoy. This edition, by the way, it became job a base for future reprints. Daughter with a sigh looked up from the TV and buried job in book. However enthusiasm on her face in sight, and I decided to check my impressions ... tsatiletney ago. This time I had the more - five pages. then vomited.

But I knew that Vladimir Vladimirovich offers first-class product and has a right to snobbishness. And that offers Dumas? First, it offers us idiots with him admire it. These peacock job dances in the mirror look, for example, because (and I quote): "But as you know, whimsical mind of the writer sometimes worried about what you do not notice a broad readership. Admiring, as, no doubt, will be cheering and others already marked advantages memoirs here we were, however, more than just amazed by one circumstance job to which no one before us have probably paid no attention. job "End quote. Our lovely! "Us" - it is not a group of researchers, "us" - it personally Alexandre Dumas. This is not bragging episodic, it - Permanent: "Equipped with such a parting word, D'Artagnan, both temporally and spiritually exactly like the hero of Cervantes with which we have compared it so well when the debt narrator made us to sketch a portrait of him. "Dumas clearly overworked, performing the sacred duty of the narrator, otherwise comparison of Don Quixote with Gascon did not seem to help him. However, a failure metaphor (which, incidentally, surprisingly little, and it is one of the main artistic techniques) - is nonsense. And so shavayut. Here in fact it is not a meaningful text, and ... What? try to guess. Quote: "He fixed his proud look and saw a stranger man of about forty, with black piercing eyes, pale face, with a big nose and black, very carefully trimmed mustache. He was in a waistcoat and purple trousers with cords of the same color, without any decoration apart from the usual slots, which could be seen through the shirt. And the pants and jacket, though new, were heavily wrinkled as road things long lain in a trunk.

"Phew, what we learned about the characters? Nothing. Glance - proud face - pale. Stamps. cartons. Meanwhile, job XIX-th century - it is not fiction infancy.
