This year the Yasnaya Polyana award is presented for the fourteenth time. Vladimir Tolstoy, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation on culture, said that this year the jury members read over a hundred novels to determine the winner in the nominations.

“There has never been such an agonizing choice as this year in the entire history of the award. The works of the short list all deserve to be declared laureates. Our heart bled when we were forced to make our difficult choice,” Tolstoy emphasized.

Before announcing the winners of this season, the jury members presented the books from the short list, explaining the structure of each novel, the relevance of the work and its artistic features. Evgeny Vodolazkin, Lev Anninsky, Pavel Basinsky, Alexei Varlamov, Valentin Kurbatov, Vladislav Otroshenko spoke to the guests of the ceremony.

The award was established in 2003 on the initiative of the Leo Tolstoy Museum-Estate with the support of Samsung Electronics. The award is given to the best work of art in the traditional form in four categories. In the nominations "XXI century" and "Childhood. Adolescence. Youth" the jury names short lists, and the finalists of the nominations "Foreign Literature" and " Modern classic" will be determined at a solemn ceremony in October.

The winner of the nomination "Childhood. Adolescence. Youth", in which books for young readers participate, receives 500 thousand rubles, and 300 thousand rubles are distributed among the finalists.

Laureates

The winner in the nomination "Childhood. Adolescence. Youth" was Marina Nefedova with the book "The Forester and His Nymph", which was published by the publishing house "Nikeya". Head of the Department of Culture of Moscow Alexander Kibovsky, presenting the award to the laureate, said that the works of all the winners will end up in the city's libraries.

"It's great that at one time Lev Nikolayevich (Tolstoy) wrote a trilogy of the same name, and this nomination appeared. Often literature for teenagers is considered niche, and Yasnaya Polyana singled out this nomination. It seems to me that literature for children and adolescents is very important, because this is the kind of reading that later affects the rest of your life,” said Nefedova, receiving the award.

Two writers became the winners in the nomination "XXI century" - Narine Abgaryan "Three apples fell from the sky", which was published by the AST publishing house, and Alexander Grigorenko's story "The blind man lost his pipe", published in the magazine "October".

“We suffered terribly and agreed on two nominees,” Vladimir Tolstoy explained the decision of the jury members.

Presenting Abgaryan's book, Aleksey Varlamov said that in the book "Three Apples Fell From the Sky" there are many wonderful and, at the same time, ordinary things.

"This is a local story that shows human life With different angles. Narine tells amazing story, a myth deployed in reverse. Her book is one of those apples that everyone should get," Varlamov said.

Evgeny Vodolazkin: I build novels as a dialogue with the readerIn an interview with RIA Novosti, the writer Evgeny Vodolazkin told how to make the reader a co-creator of a work and why literary awards are the best navigator in the book world.

The second laureate, Alexander Grigorenko, was unable to attend the ceremony. Vladislav Otroshenko told about his story to those present in the hall. He emphasized that for the first time the genre of the story is shortlisted for the award.

"Sometimes in a novel there are gaps, emptiness, even in good novels. The story has the ability to keep the mark of narration from the first word to the last. Grigorenko's story is poignant," Otroshenko said.

The winner in the nomination "Modern Classics" was Vladimir Makanin, who was awarded for the novel "Where the sky converged with the hills." The artistic director of the Theater of Nations Yevgeny Mironov read out a fragment from the work from the stage.

Orkhan Pamuk and his novel "My Strange Thoughts" translated by Apollinaria Avrutina became a laureate in the nomination "Foreign Literature". Aleksey Varlamov noted the work of the translator, who was able to convey "the melodious intonation and atmosphere of Istanbul."

"This is a large leisurely book, clearly not written in pursuit of success. This is a declaration of love hometown, Istanbul. It reminds me of One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a long saga that is connected with a distant place that becomes close," Varlamov said. Orkhan Pamuk will receive his award later, at the Yasnaya Polyana estate.

The last to be announced was the winner in the Readers' Choice category, for whom readers voted online. In this case, the choice of readers coincided with the opinion of the jury and the award was given to Narine Abgaryan. The winner received a themed trip for two to Seoul.

Literary Prize "Yasnaya Polyana" announced the Long List in the category "Foreign Literature"

In the building of the Moscow Theater of Nations, a long list of the best foreign books was announced according to the experts of the Yasnaya Polyana literary award, established by the Leo Tolstoy Museum-Estate and Samsung Electronics.

The category "Foreign Literature" has been in existence for the fourth year. It highlights the most significant foreign book XXI century and its translation into Russian. Or, as the writer said, a jury member of the award Vladislav Otroshenko, "we reward the amazing symbiosis of writer and translator". In past years, the laureates have been Ruth Ozeki, and. By the way, the name of a living classic, Nobel laureate Llosy and his novel The Modest Hero, translated by Kirill Korkonosenko, were added to the list right at the 2017 long list announcement ceremony. He also had the honor of receiving the award.

Compared to the previous premium season, the list of 2018 added in number - it contains 35 works against 28 in 2017. However, the names familiar from previous years also migrated to it: with his “Benevolence”, with “Sinlessness”, and Drago Janchar. A reasonable question followed: is there any point in re-nominating the same works? If they have not already won once, it is unlikely that, with an abundance of worthy new products, the jury will choose them. Answer of the chairman of the jury, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation on culture and art Vladimir Tolstoy made it clear that the chances of the "newly nominated" books are not so much. However, there are no restrictions on renomination in the rules, and the jury meets the needs of experts who again want to pay attention to worthy works.

Some experts were also driven by "personal motives." So, Natalia Kochetkova admitted that she put forward the book by Ishiguro, as well as by Pascal Quinard, because she wants to meet with these authors. The main condition of the award is that the writer must personally attend the award ceremony.

Is in long list 2018 and books just published in Russian - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie with the novel "Americanha", "Vegetarian" Han Gan - by the way, the first South Korean novel in this category, and "even more existential than his previous novels" "Here I am » Jonathan Safran Foer. Two authors are represented by two works at once - American Toni Morrison and Israeli writer Amos Oz.

Jury member, writer Pavel Basinsky noted that the nomination "Foreign Literature" is distinguished by the complexity of determining the criteria for selecting works: "Authors like Oz and McEwan should be given an award based on merit", but there are also talented works of young writers ...

This year, the Yasnaya Polyana Prize appealed not only to individual experts, but also to organizations. Thus, the Center for German Books in Moscow (and at the same time the Representative Office of the Frankfurt book fair in Russia) drew attention to the absence of German authors in the Long List last year. This season, the gap is filled: the long list includes three German books - "F" by Daniel Kelmann, which the jury member, writer Evgeny Vodolazkin defined as "virtuoso in terms of technology", as well as "He / she" by Boto Strauss and "On the example of a brother" by Uwe Timm.

They also noted the presence of Slavic authors in the list - “a five-part book as thick as two iPhones”, “I saw her this night” by Drago Jancar, “The Navel of the Earth” by the Macedonian writer Venko Andonovsky and Matei Vishniak with the book “Mr. K. at large”.

In the list of 2018 there was a place for children's literature. Critic, editor-in-chief of the God of Literature.RF portal Michael Wiesel put forward a novel by an American writer about the friendship of a boy and a fox. "This book is not so much a children's book as it is addressed to the inner child that lives in each of us", he remarked.

Ahead of the jury is waiting for the most exciting - reading and discussion. Readers will have to wait for the announcement of the winner in this category. in October(there is no shortlist in the nomination "Foreign Literature").

By the way, one more nice moment. Since the establishment of the nomination, its monetary component has also changed. It all started with a million rubles for the author of the best foreign novel and 200 thousand for the translator. In 2018, the author will receive 1.2 million rubles, and his translator into Russian - 500 thousand.
