Asya Petrova writer Biography

Who is who in modern children's literature “Adult Children's Writer Asya Petrova” Anastasia Dmitrievna Petrova was born on October 28, married to a St. Petersburg writer, poet and translator Mikhail Yasyov, we wrote about him as a classic of modern children's poetry. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology of St. Petersburg State University and the magistracy of the University of the Sorbonne Paris IV literary criticism.

Since G. in the same year received a doctoral diploma of the University of the Paris Sorbonne. It is known as the author of scientific articles and a regular participant in conferences and forums devoted to the issues of translation and attribution. It is amazing how Anastasia Dmitrievna managed to do all this by the age of 30! .. She began to write artistic texts as early as adolescence.

Любовь к французской литературе и культуре определила дальнейшую профессиональную жизнь Анастасии. Then I fell in love with French cinema and books. And I wanted to translate fiction and write my own texts at school. It seemed to me that translation is almost writing, only you tell the thoughts of another person. When it turned out that it was sometimes more difficult to translate someone else's thought than to state my own, I was amazed.

I'm still amazed. " In the year, she received the first prize "Book" for a collection of stories "Wolves on Parachutes". Another book - “Who has not died, dance disco! In the year, the not yet published collection of stories “Adults Silent” entered the long list of the Debut Award in the nomination “Small Prose”. In the year, the Paris publishing house acquired the rights to a collection of stories "Wolves on Parachute." I would like to add that Anastasia Dmitrievna is really an event in the world of teenage literature.

Readers compare her works with their favorite works of Soviet authors who wrote so well for adolescents and youth. Asi Petrova’s books are distinguished by “Faces with an inaccurate expression” and fascinate with their names: “Wolves on Parachute”, “Feelings that have your teeth sore”, “who do not die, dance disco” ... Literature for teenagers really becomes more now, but not so often it is really literature with a capital letter, which would differ in the skill of the writer and the ability to speak with a teenager in one language.

After the release of the first book “Wolves on Parachutes” to Ace Petrova, according to her, the “Children's Writer” tag clung. My new book will be an adult. ” We will wait impatiently! In the year, he was awarded the first prize “Book” as the best work for children and youth, the diploma of the Munich library as “the most original work of the year” and entered the long list of VABU-NOS Award.

Stories about the little boy are written in the first person. This direct child, whom the author calls all the time in different names and puts himself in different situations, behaves now emphasized childishly, then emphasized in an adult way, but always stubbornly analyzes the events taking place with him. The teenage logic paradoxical for adult consciousness is conveyed exactly and with humor, which is unobtrusively present in all the stories of Asi Petrova.

Just like subtle lyricism, a reflection of light sadness and a philosophical depth. Readers are silent for readers from 12 years old and older than a collection of stories a little about the book: Assie Petrova’s collection “Adults are silent” by a kind of continuation of the book “Wolves on Parachutes”. This is a psychological teenage prose, stylistically conveying the intonation of a teenager and showing the wrong side of the life of modern youth.

Funny or sad, with comic fragments and retreats in which a teenager reflects in private with him, stories give the impression of full -blooded literature: she does not arrange all points over “and”, does not remove contradictions, but allows the reader to think about what worries him. I guess I'm still a little about the book: this is a cycle of psychological stories about a growing child.

The main character of the book is already an adult teenager who asks uncomfortable, sometimes provocative questions and tries to answer them, to comprehend the world around them. The reader will have to discuss the answer, first of all, with himself. Readers from 16 years old and older than a story about the life of modern teenagers, psychological drama of feelings that have a little teeth about the book: strong people are the same weak, only without feelings.

It seems that they are able to independently cope with their own pain and fears, and at the same time can help those who are weaker to get out of a closed circle of problems. But strong need help, why the heroes of both novels carefully mask their feelings?

Do they really want to become strong? Maybe the power of the spirit is just not to be afraid to show your weakness? Children and adults, so different and so the same, are looking for answers to vital questions in order to cope with their fears, anxiety and step forward. Sometimes for this we have enough conversation by heart, another time we need a journey through our own dreams, and sometimes - whole decades of searches, but years of life can mean nothing, and for several minutes everything can mean everything.Even those that the reader will spend on reading this book.

The kings of the world are a little about the book: under the exquisite Fleer of Paris, the main question opens: is it possible to come to life if one day he died, and is it possible to continue to love, ceasing to suffer? The famous Parisian artist, a cat without boots, a sorcerer and the great -grandson of a damn grandmother, a mysterious Ginzburburns dreams of happy humanity, giving him love without pain.

There are no more night tears in the pillow, endless torment, heart cramps - only even, calm feeling and cozy family evenings with pizza by the TV. Lisa and Apolliner - the desperate kings of the world, romantics and pragmatists help him to carry out the plan, now and then violating the general rules. Lisa wants to become a genius of an ideal wife: to sing him with serenades, bake pancakes and simply love forever.

And the dead poet thinks that he really fell in love for the first time - a living girl, next to whom he feels a little alive. But it seems that the happy love of each of the heroes is only one - love for Paris. The eternal hameleon city, dazzlingly blue in sunny weather, white-gray in a fog, black and silver at night, turning out of the placers of cafes, embankments and boulevards and shining with the bright light of the windows, in which no one ever feels lonely ...

The real children's life is described in the sugar beastly, there is a real prince of a law on a shelf with household appliances in the supermarket, the unfortunate is only a kiss.
