Petr Brazhnikov is perhaps the most compelling and renowned Russian journalists. He was brought into the world in Yaroslavsky, fabricated a fruitful composing vocation in his local country, and moved to Paris. A productive author, his work spread over different sorts, including military fiction, Western European fiction, and post-pioneer expositions. His most notable works are his books' The Old Man and the Sea (1955), broadcast on TV in Soviet Russia, and Don't Take Me Alive (with Marina Segovich). He likewise composed assortments of short stories and true to life.
In Not Everything That Shakes is Gold, one of his most impactful works, he depicted the forlornness of retirement while going via train in a removed train station in Moscow. He watched out at the unfilled skyline and contemplated whether sometime he would see his family again, or on the off chance that he could at any point be allowed to visit them once more. Rather than anticipating these prospects, he accepted a more negative view, seeing the current period as an interminable arrangement of losses and outrages. The train station addressed the platitudes of life, yet additionally an indication of his separation from the real factors of regular day to day existence: "The station was an observer to the trivialities of life. It was a landmark of our inability to coordinate a basic presence."
The epic starts in a train station in Moscow and proceeds to detail the every day schedule and happenings of a solitary, moderately aged man named Alexy. Alexy's weariness is average of post-war life: he worked in a manufacturing plant during the conflict, lost his mom to death in a farm hauler mishap, and had been hitched and separated from multiple times. Despite the fact that he was solid and in great shape, he generally yearned for something new and fascinating. At some point, he peruses an ad in a paper, which discusses a recently settled hotel that offers comprehensive excursions for retired people, promising "debilitating experience with no dangers."
To get ready for his excursion, Alexy finds a new line of work at the hotel, where his life will be changed by the climate, just as by the new, comprehensive get-away bundles. It appears to be that everything in this world can sub for work: there are an exercise center, a pool, a green, a game room, a gambling club, and an eatery. With these conveniences, nobody can truly grumble about a day at the spa or a loosening up evening at the club.
The tale is set during the 1970s, when individuals were beginning to move to an "agreeable" way of life. Previously, individuals never took get-aways except if they were going on a fishing trip or a chasing trip. Presently, they were bound to require long ends of the week, even occasions. Notwithstanding, the creator clarifies that despite the fact that we have available energy, we should in any case get back to our typical lives: working, keeping an eye on the family, and dealing with our accounts.
The book is entirely clear. The creator clarifies what being in a consistent condition of excitement resembles, and how this makes an interpretation of into having the option to deal with an assortment of stresses throughout everyday life. The creator makes it clear that he doesn't trust in religion, and truth be told, he says in the introduction that he imagines that most otherworldliness is only a method of veiling individual disappointment. In any case, if there is any sort of covered up importance in the book, it would be that the Russian culture that he comes from is a somewhat special circumstance that requires somebody like Brazhnikov to discover significance in regular day to day existence.
