Abstract

Новую книгу Майкла Дэвид-Фокса можно начинать читать с обложки, а именно с плаката Алексея Радакова «Знание разорвет цепи рабства» (1920 год). На переднем плане изображена массивная стопка книг, которая лежит на цепи, как на качелях. Цепь висит между почти одинаковыми темными заводскими корпусами сквадратными окнами и трубами. Груду книг венчает большое белое перо, обмакнутое в тушь. Перо и книги придавлены волевой рукой с расставленными пальцами,возникающей из темной тучи на самом верху плаката наподобие перста божьего – из облака. Фон – охристо-оранжевый, не слишком светлый и не темный, оставляющий зрителя в неведении: восход это или закат?
