Повести и рассказы

Povesti i rasskazy Vasiliya Belova, napisannye v 1960-e gody, otkryvayut chitatelyu mir russkoy derevni. Traditsionnyy uklad, godovoy tsikl, kotoromu sleduet chelovek, edinstvo s prirodoy vsye eto delaet zhizn privychnoy, ponyatnoy i osmyslennoy. No etot mir rasshatyvaetsya na glazakh, rvetsya svyaz pokoleniy, nuzhda ili voyna gonyat v gorod, v chuzhie kraya. Pochva ukhodit iz-pod nog, dobro i zlo menyayutsya mestami I poroy uzhe ne sam otchiy dom, no vospominanie o nem daet geroyam Belova oporu i pomogaet ne utratit chuvstvo rodiny. Koloritnye kharaktery derevenskikh zhiteley otrazil v svoey grafike khudozhnik Boris Alimov.
