"Three apples fell from the sky," or five years after Manyuni

KIROV. Alexander Green Prize for Narine Abgaryan. A new book about the history of a mountain village supplanted Tatyana Tolstoy’s book in the readers rating.

The dream of writing, reinforced by a real vocation, came true in the most unexpected way. Touching and hilarious stories posted on the LJ blog were admired first by subscribers and then by professional writers. The result was the book "Manyunya", nostalgic, funny, charming. About the adventures of two girls, the formidable Ba (the sister of the Sanaev heroine), first love, that secret that remains with you then for life.

Following the stories about Manyun came the turn of "Come in large numbers," "Semyon Andreevich." This year, two new books appeared at once - “The Mura’s Happiness” and “Three apples fell from the sky”. The history of the inhabitants of the village of Maran, a mountain saga about the lives of several families, in the hierarchy of spectator affection left far behind the work of multi-circulation masters, warmed, touched, made us empathize, recalling the amazing heroes of Marquez and Iskander.

The Alexander Green Prize was received by Abgaryan not only for his outstanding contribution to the development of domestic literature. For a sense of peace and happiness, a cozy touch of events, heroes who fall in love with themselves from the very first pages, becoming practically members of the family. Here you can get the heat that is missing in real life. To believe that good people have not disappeared anywhere, which means that there is a place for hope in it.
