How Did Kristal Summers Start?

Piotr Bednarski - snow blue

I just pass out about this incredible book, the passion he called for me, and her white beauty, luxury of its language, the richness of his words and then also the universality of her quest. This book is an ode to freedom, nothing less. In fact, just closed I was already thinking that if literature was able to provide readers with books of this caliber, so it was enough for me to be there and continue to take this art can fluctuate very strange flashes. Piotr Bednarski

recounts her childhood here fucked up by the Soviets. Son of Polish nobility of guilty, he was deported with his mother in the antechamber of the gulag, where his father was serving a sentence without a name. While there was of course banned, closed, guarded, youth eternally crushed continually stifled love Stalin demanded a total passion that does not tolerate other. But I do not want to talk about the book this way, it's not just that. Not that this story was banal, the horror she would become elsewhere.

I approach this book with the figurative, the instinctive. It often happens when a novel grabs me to grab a pen and emphasize certain passages to copy the very end of book. Perhaps it would suffice here which indicated what can be read.

P38: "And then, beauty is needed everywhere, even where the polar bears frolic."

Savonarolle. Circassian. Gehenna.

P43: "I'd be a Buddhist monk. You, you fly, and I will pray"

P46: "The Russian women were crying shortly, as they lacked the tears were numerous misfortunes that hit them. The Russians had learned to cry without tears. "

Eighteen chapters composed "The Blue Snow". Each of them will not end the death of one of the protagonists, be it a friend of the child narrator (Piotr Bednarski so), or a family member, agent of the NKVD , a soldier or a blessed, all die or go away, life on the tundra seems to be a short passage; fleeting and elusive it leaves eaten by the cold. Piotr Bednarski

written a masterful and rich language that evokes a lot. Erudite says she knows free rein to the talents of evocation of the poet. I just read writers of this caliber, capable of transforming the story into a tragedy Greek, to the individual a morality tale. Here we learn more about the man than any anthropological treatises, there is this science of the digression and the immediate focus for death constantly lurks. Sublimely beautiful.
