Emigration is an old phenomenon that survived the peak of poetization during the First World War and was strongly romanticized thanks to Wassily Kandinsky, Ivan Bunin and Fyodor Chaliapin.

Leaving the homeland is always not just like that - this is a huge test for character, a certain scrapping and shift of fate, a challenge that a person throws both to himself and to the world. The largest artists of the beginning of the last century and the present went through emigration, and Dean Rubin did not pass it, whose work became the undisputed tuning fork of Russian literature of the end of the century.

In this book, the author specially collected stories that are somehow related to the topic of finding new land and the rejection of the old land. They contain humor, and sadness, and irony, and compassion, embracing everyone with whom it has just happened or who will have it.

The experience of emigration cannot be universal, and at the same time it is transmitted from a great artist - tends to help and support.

This book was invented for this.

The collection includes previously published stories.
