	Soul of the woman Notes about Sergey Rosedkina's book "Ljupof" Contrary to slyshannomu me to the statement, that will tighten the novel so skuchnovat, I have read it for one evening, at one go. Probably, because it is necessary to be able to read letters — they tsenny the smallest details, nuances of feeling, intonations, even punctuation marks. The novel is certainly interesting. Its collision, at first sight, is not new: the growing old man dreaming of the second youth, about updating in love, meets the young girl idolising him as the writer, and with a head plunges into a whirlpool of mad passion-delusion. On the other hand, how the plot when the main heroine is unexpectedly developed is the most interesting, Alina, enters into the love world for two third. The most amazing character in the novel is, certainly, Alina. The Woman-child, it bewitches mind, sincerity, not children's passion, the cleanliness. As well as its elect Domashnev, readers should believe, that it is given to feeling recklessly, that she will manage to save up the love, that it will go on revolt against public opinion. But does not pass also year as Alina gets parallel relations with young Kolej and though all like at them the same as at Alina with Domashnevym: they also exchange mails, meet, have sex, — but it cannot be named by the novel. It, more likely, communication. By e-mail they remain on communications, only communication it and in a reality. Alina reflecting over Dostoevsky and Faulzom, writing delightful verses, the girl-philosopher, it is difficult to present only a lewd female or, even worse, — cold eksperimentatorshej, decided to check up how the love to one man is combined with bent for to another. Its correspondence with Kolej nesushkinym — a grotesque parody to its inspired exchange of love messages with Alexey Alekseevichem Domashnevym. Why Alina cannot remain with Alexey, apparently, rather liking its that late love about which so it is thin Tyutchev wrote? Why it goes more and more "racing", slides, how from breakage, and starts to address with men with cold calculation young hishchnitsy? At first sight, it is inexplicable and calls desire pomoralizirovat over "naivety" of the growing old professor and "dissoluteness" of modern youth. But it is necessary to look narrowly at Alina more attentively, to "get a grasp" of it more deeply. It is not necessary to write off all dislocations of its behaviour only on a youth or female illogicalness. Alina — from generation twenty years' in Russia, it was born spent the Soviet empire which have failed suddenly that has already set a drama impulse of internal uneasiness of those who was on light during an epoch of changes. Painful requirement to affirm and find the place in the astable initially world and society. Alina really falls in love in Domashneva strongly, sincerely. She searches in him, as in the senior, as in the man — the shelter, the beacon, the for the sky and the earth. As well as any enamoured woman. But to it it is much more difficult, than to it. As a matter of fact, this first its serious feeling. It would like not only to belong recklessly liked, but also recklessly to own it. However it is not free. Alina's position doubly: it carries a wedding ring presented Domashnevym, however he forbids it to name itself(himself) his wife even in intimate correspondence. Even in secret thoughts it is not free. Besides the girl entering the relations with the man is much more senior it, with the married professor, will inevitably condemn many, up to her parents. To it the label very young razluchnitsy will tightly be pasted. Long Alina takes out it, not demanding an outcome. Not demanding resolutely to prefer to its grown hateful wife. She lives in the conditions of constant stress, konspirirujas where and as soon as it is possible. And when it and Domashnev in park meet his wife, it roughly drags the girl away, is exact only it is guilty in this awkward situation, in its change to the wife and in its feeling of fault to the companion of a life. And, eventually, Alina breaks. It neosoznanno revenges the beloved, being given to another. It finds the fellow more youngly absolutely inappropriate to it on spiritual needs. That at least with it to forget about intolerable oppression of the surrounding validity, where it — only the mistress of the taken place man at times suppressing it as the person. It meets with Kolej not because it does not have not enough sexual dialogue with Domashnevym. On the contrary, in this plan Sergey tyres with its time, while with Domashnevym it almost always flight, deep merge. Alina — the child of time. In its consciousness nearby — Dostoevsky and «Factory of stars», philosophy and a low wrong side of a life, reflexion about a divine essence of love and about duration of sexual intercourse. But from this chaos there is one invincible requirement for which satisfactions she searches with each man. And this requirement consists in that at least someone from them has seen in it the person, has helped it to find itself in this world. Not casually in correspondence with Domashnevym and with Kolej she begs not to see in it the cynical, burnt voluptuous, she asks them to see in it an angel — pure, light, eternally liking raised love. In my opinion, the reason of its change of heart that Domashnev could not communicate with it at such level. He admires with its divine body, its magnificent intelligence, but forgets about its suffering soul. So coquetry initially inherent in the woman becomes its weapon; aspiration to be forgotten in the man — mania. It gradually, can, that not understanding, is convinced: from it as women, men need its body, but not heart, not she. So, on egoism it is possible and it is necessary to answer with egoism, it is possible to seize men how they seize it, and to take from them only that is necessary for it. Therefore and Kohl will not warm its cold breast, therefore she will throw also it. Whether Alina will find that semiangel, in merge with which both will turn at last to angels — angels of love? Or she is doomed to remain on the earth all life? She is a poet that is why it is doomed to search the for the higher, to crave and thirst true and light, again and again, through a pain and a dirt to aspire to primary cleanliness bytijnogo Words. And even if in this search it should step through Domashneva, she nevertheless faces a reality with a courageous call, not trying to cover heart from a pain, not relieving from herself to responsibility. It is a pity to me Alina such to what she is excused with the reader, but I all the same believe in it. I believe, that its internal light, with such tremendous force osijavshy its love to Alexey, will restore it to life and will help to find and see with myself an angel. Will help most to believe in it. Olga KULKOVA.
