One morning Igor Guberman went looking for his glasses around the house. As soon as he found it, he realized he had forgotten why he needed it. Then the writer wondered if it was old age. Then I came to disappointing conclusions.

But then he thought again, but came to the same conclusions, but to consolation. Namely: old age is a time when the claims to life are narrowed, due to which the remaining pleasures are sharply exacerbated.

Maybe another one. Huberman's secret He was able to realize his natural talent as a writer and poet. In Soviet times, he wrote popular science books. And novels for the Writers' Union. He became more and more active as a dissident poet.

In Siberian exile he stayed about 5 years. Then he couldn't get a job for a long time. He was then forced to leave the country. Which, fortunately, he did when he moved to Israel.



So there were circumstances that Igor Guberman had to try many different professions: a builder, a locksmith and, finally, apply his university diploma - to find a job as an engineer. In solving many domestic issues, a language barrier arose, which has not been overcome even today.

The poet jokes that he can ask the simplest questions in Hebrew, but always expects an answer with horror, because he does not understand most of what is said.

Sometimes you wake up like a bird.
with a winged spring on the platoon,
And I want to live and work.
But it passes by breakfast.”

and without causing concern;
stupidity
complain to the author of the device.”

And my lot is pathetic in this sense:
I've had my head full of crap in the morning.
It is full of nonsense by evening.”
