Сергей Довлатов - один из самых популярных и читаемых русских писателей конца ХХ - начала XXI века. Его повести, рассказы, записные книжки переведены на множество языков, экранизированы, изучаются в школе и вузах. Удивительно смешная и одновременно пронзительно-печальная проза Довлатова давно стала классикой и роднит писателя с такими мастерами трагикомической прозы, как А. Чехов, Тэффи, А. Аверченко, М. Зощенко.
Три знаменитых произведения, представленных в этом сборнике, - "Заповедник", "Зона", "Компромисс", - великолепно демонстрируют особенный стиль Довлатова и лаконичную точность его пера.
