Two little stories and two novels by Leonid Zorin, included in the collection of his selected prose, contains a vast world where love reigns. The elegiac story about love and the Soviet writer Bezrodova prazhanki Gabriella echoes "Warsaw Melody," the famous play Zorina. In the second story collection, "Judith," named, like the first, by the name of the heroine, the theme of love takes on tragic tone. The hero of the novel "a convert" Zinovy Peshkov, a living legend, "Great one-armed," General of the French army, the adopted son of Gorky and the brother of Yakov Sverdlov, talks about her, full of incredible events in the life of a warrior and lover, and it appears that it is the love to the beautiful women it was most important in his life. The novel "Jupiter," the final compilation (I will not call the name of the character, so as not to deprive the reader's pleasure to know who is hiding under the guise of an Olympic god), discloses other drama, the drama of self-emptying of the hero from the inability to love.
