Modern Patericon. Reading for the discouraged.

Modern Paterik Maya Kucherskaya in one monastery burned, and in one of the seminaries used as a teaching aid.

There has never been such a book before. Disputes about it divided readers into two irreconcilable camps. For some, this collection of short stories about priests and their flock seems too ironic and poisonous, others are convinced that the book is written with great warmth and love.

As a matter of fact - judge the reader, we will add only that for four years the Modern Paterik has sustained five editions and has broken into proverbs.
