This book is one of the "Golden Russia" series. "Zoo" consists of 34 love letters from the hero and heroine, telling the story of the writer's unrequited love during his exile in Berlin and his understanding of the fate of Russian intellectuals in exile; "The Third Factory" expresses the writer's worry about the future of Soviet Russian literature and the fate of artists. These two works are not only biographies of the writer's life, but also a highly metaphorical literary biography. They record the writer's changing destiny and the unfree situation of the artist's creation during the period of revolution, war, and the change of old and new political culture. They express the writer's affectionate memory of his formalist colleagues and his helpless hope of restoring his own personality.
