Fiction

• Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts

  Из этого и состоит наша жизнь. Мы делаем один шаг, затем другой. Поднимаем глаза навстречу улыбке или оскалу окружающего мира. Думаем. Действуем. Чувствуем. Добавляем свои скромные усилия к приливам и отливам добра и зла, затопляющим планету и вновь отступающим. Несём сквозь мрак свой крест в надежду следующей ночи. Бросаем наши храбрые сердца в обещание нового дня. С любовью — странным поиском истины вне самих себя — и с надеждой — чистым невыразимым желанием быть спасёнными. Ибо пока судьба ждёт нас, наша жизнь продолжается. Боже, спаси нас. Боже, прости нас. Жизнь продолжается.
