The Express-story about the All-World Holiday

The Express-story about the All-World Holiday


News have begun.

Gorky has become interested.

"Mysterious handshake".

The "Icelanders surprise".

"Germans reflect".

"Mexicans define the best places and celebrate".

"Ole-ole-ole!"

"From Rostov write too!"


It was remembered that some part of the text in "The Count of Monte Cristo", it seems, began with the words "They Write to us from Ioannina" (“On nous ;crit de Janina”; “We Hear from Yanina”).

The powerful Gorky's memory has begun to work: "The Alexandre Dumas ("father")'s travel books - the description of a trip to Russia in 1858  (Adventures in Czarist Russia, or From Paris to Astrakhan (Impressions de voyage: En Russie; De Paris ; Astrakan: Nouvelles impressions de voyage (1858), 1859–1862), - the description abounding with mistakes, but imbued with sympathy for Russia".

"History in Dumas's processing was such what her the French wanted to see: cheerful, colourful, constructed on contrasts where the Good was on one side, the Evil — on another" - "It seems so was wrote about Dumas?".

"Ole-ole-ole!", - with a smile Gorky has sung. – ""Vivat Alexander Dumas, "father"!"
