Description

Life as a discovery—these are the words that briefly describe the paths and journeys of Vladimir Mikhailovich Fridkin (b. 1929). A physicist and writer, inventor and Pushkin scholar, he traveled almost the entire world. The book “I Am a Russian Jew” consists of short stories and sketches, written, as they say, from memory. The result is a rich canvas woven from recollections of his pre-war childhood, his classmates and friends—Nathan Eidelman, Alexei Batalov, and Kirill Kholodkovsky—his collaborations with leading scientists, and his travels across the country and the world. Sincerely and confidentially, ironically and touchingly, the author recalls his experiences, and on the pages of the book they come to life. They include people, encounters, years, and destinies.
