Daniel' Shtayn, perevodchik

Roman Lyudmily Ulickoy "Daniel' Shtayn, perevodchik" - literaturnaya sensaciya poslednih let. Ogromnye tirazhi (a ved' rech' idet o sochinenii slozhneyshem, dalekom ot belletristiki), spory, nakonec, premiya "Bol'shaya kniga". Daniel' Shtayn (geroy imeet konkretnogo prototipa), s riskom dlya zhizni (on sam evrey) spasaet vo vremya Vtoroy mirovoy voyny okolo trehsot uznikov getto. V konce voyny on, prinyav kreschenie, stanovitsya katolicheskim svyaschennikom i uezzhaet v Izrail', gde prodolzhaet sluzhenie lyudyam – imenno tak on ponimaet svoyu missiyu. Ostrye voprosy very yavlyayutsya polnopravnymi geroyami povestvovaniya, hotya L.Ulickaya ne raz govorila, chto ona "ne bogoslov i ne zanimaetsya propoved'yu, a vsego lish' rasskazyvaet ob unikal'nom po svoey chestnosti i smelosti cheloveke".
