The Joking Fairy Tale about the e-mail letter to the writer Pushkin
Living in Mikhaylovskoye, Alexander Pushkin periodically went online.
And this time: he has checked the e-mail.
The letter.
The Internet platform for publications writes ...
What they write?
"Hello!
Here also a half of year has flown by.
During this time we: have selected among books and audio recordings the things for the longlist of the premium ...;
have updated the section "Statistics", and last week adapted schedules and for mobile version of the website;
participated in two book exhibitions - in St. Petersburg and Moscow - and met our authors;
have held a series of free webinars ...,
have started the press on demand for books on the exclusive license: paper books by our authors can be ordered on ...,
on the website of ... bookstore or in ... network ... have begun reception of the first applications for the press of circulations (in more detail we will tell about this service in the separate letter) and we prepare some more services for start ...
One of the most frequent questions which were asked by listeners of webinars - "Where it is possible to gain more useful knowledge for the author?".
Pushkin for a second has distracted from reading. "Where it is possible to gain more useful knowledge for the author?" - "It is interesting, even philosophical, the question", - Pushkin has thought. - "Perhaps, traveling around the South of Russia? I believe, Maxim Gorky would agree with such opinion?"
Pushkin saw that the text of the email letter is nearing completion:
"This marathon is suitable for authors who already know what they are going to write, and are ready to work actively on a draft of their novel.
If you have any questions or need help, please contact us.
With respect, Team ...'
Pushkin was filling himself with romantic memories.
Dear friend Sergey Sobolevsky!
The Gentleman in the true sense of the word! The Person of the Russian literature and the Man of honor!
You to him - a verses, and he to you - two of silver rubles for each word. Well ... Approximately, two rubles ... Generally, a lot of ...
Pushkin has remembered that the Pushkin's theme researcher Nikolay Smirnov-Sokolsky has carried out calculation of all earnings of Pushkin - as for literary work, so the summs of the official's salary (excepting income from the estate). In 17 years Alexander Sergeyevich has earned 255 thousand 180 rubles by bank notes. At a modern course - it is about 2 million 200 thousand dollars. These are about 130 thousand dollars a year.
The curious thought has suddenly arrived: "Is this Nicholas Pavlovich required to me? With his Nesselrode, positions, salaries, ranks, loans, dancing evenings? The headache only!... Also Georges d'Anthès will to arise from somewhere ... It is necessary to stick to the friend Sobolevsky and other friends publishers. And - to play less the card games. In general - to be far away from gamblings."
Pushkin glanced at the email letter.
Arina Rodionovna's voice was heard: "Alexander Sergeyevich! Strawberries and sour cream!'
Pushkin hurriedly left the room.
