"Man is created for happiness..." Insert aphorisms in prose by V. Tokareva
V. Tokareva's stories and novellas are attractive not only for their everyday stories, not only for the types of" little people " that Russian literature has always been so attentive to, but also for their philosophical understanding of the world, life, and people.

But Yegorovskaya Irina did not want to waste her beauty and youth, and her only son had to beg and beg at the cost of tears and humiliations. He had loved her for a long time, for fifteen years, and he had stopped loving her in one day. As Anton Pavlovich Chekhov said: "Marry for love or without love - the result is the same." So they had the same result with Markin, but at least there are children, and here are devastating, sizzling passions, which now, from a distance, seem to be nothing "("Long Day"). In this description of a specific life situation, key words form oppositions: "love is not love", "every year I gave birth to children - begging for an only son", "I ... Read more
