Triumph of the egg

"The Triumph of the Egg" (1921) is a collection of short stories and stories united by a common thought and atmosphere: from the title, epigraph, singing introduction and through all the stories, something alive seems to flow, combining the texts into a harmonious whole. They are about everyday and not-so-everyday moments of life, about the dreams and disappointments of different people - adults and children, men and women; the stories of the lives of ordinary ordinary people from small American towns and villages.

However, even behind everyday stories, there is the depth and vicissitudes of a particular person's life, his further fate and an incentive to reflect on the meaning of life. And life turns out to be wiser than us, because it continues in spite of everything and moves cyclically in its own rhythm, no matter how we cope with it. Whether it's a continuous cycle from "egg" to "chicken", from daughter to mother, from childhood to adulthood and the discovery of sexuality, from birth to death - for every person, this cyclicality is continuous as long as life on Earth continues.
