Curtains is a collection of twenty-seven autobiographical stories that trace a boy’s journey from his earliest memories to the threshold of adulthood. Set across the vast and changeable landscapes of Siberia, the book explores how a child comes to understand the world - not through explanations, but through small, piercing moments that leave their quiet imprint on the heart.These stories unfold in kitchens and courtyards, schoolrooms and riverbanks, summer villages and hospital corridors - ordinary places that, in a child’s eyes, blaze with mystery and meaning. A curtain lifting in the wind, a daring swim, a fleeting humiliation, a secret gift meant for a mother: each event becomes a turning point, revealing something essential about fear, loyalty, tenderness, courage, and the fragile beginnings of self-understanding.As the narrator circles back to these memories in The Turn, the final story, the book transforms into a meditation on the inner architecture of a life - how we are shaped by what we remember, and by what we cannot forget.Luminous, introspective, and quietly philosophical, Curtains invites readers to rediscover their own childhood moments: those brief flashes of clarity that stay with us long after their circumstances fade.Шторы - это цикл из двадцати семи автобиографических рассказов, прослеживающих путь мальчика от самых ранних воспоминаний до порога взрослой жизни. События происходят в Сибири в пятидесятых и шестидесятых годах ХХ века. Автор переносит читателя во времена своего детства и позволяет увидеть происходящее глазами своего героя через короткие, но яркие события, которые оставляют глубокий след в его душе и формируют отношение к миру. В каждом эпизоде своя интрига, свой жизненный урок, и в последних фразах каждого рассказа происходит переоценка бытия, своего рода эпилог. Мир таков, каким мы его себя представляем. Но ребенок видит его совершенно иначе, чем человек взрослый.И главное отличие - это полное отсутствие цинизма, искренняя вера в добро и справедливость. И это не черно-белое отражение действительности. Герой книги Бориса Найдича видит мир в ярких красках цветовой палитры, где каждый день - праздник жизни и ожидание чуда. Книга Шторы универсальна по темам и сдержанно философская по тону.  Она написана простым и легким языком, присущим наивному ребенку, а затем - взрослеющему подростку, с иронией и легкой грустью по ушедшей счастливой поре, когда рядом была мама и не было никаких забот. О самом светлом периоде жизни, который всегда остается с нами.
