Konstantin Paustovsky: The Story of My Life. Printed book.

Konstantin Paustovsky is an outstanding Russian writer whose novels, novellas, short stories, and essays are rightfully considered classics of 20th-century national literature and have been repeatedly translated into many languages of the world; he is the author of remarkable lyrical-autobiographical prose filled with love for Russian nature and culture. For Soviet readers, Paustovsky is the personification of human and literary nobility, the conscience of an era. He was repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and only for political reasons did he not receive this prestigious award.
Paustovsky worked for 18 years on "The Story of a Life," one of his major works. The writer’s life unfolds before us—from childhood to the time when he realizes his literary success. Autobiographism and the intimately personal are combined here with the historical and universally significant, reflections on the past with the present day.
