    The Sketch about the paradoxes of Schliemann and the genius of Alexander Dumas

  The Sketch about the paradoxes of Schliemann and the genius of Alexander Dumas
  
  
  The author opened his collection "About culture", read some fragment of the text and thought: "This whole picture breathes some unreality. Absurd. But really! Everything's fine! Works perfect! There are just some - such - a seperate persons... They weren't "built in", they are not integrated...
  
  Well. The author receives the so-called "report" from publishing house. How many books are sold? Two - three - four copies ...
  
  The author thinks: "I, of course, not Alexandre Dumas. But I feel some interest to my creativity ... What is? How so? Sales of books don't "go"?"
  
  The author opens the website of the publisher. His last name is. He clicks on the corresponding words and opens a list of three books.
  
  The author is perplexing: "Why the list of three books. After all, were put up for sale - nine? What is it? To facilitate sales?"
  
  The author writes the e-mail to publishing house: I'm at a loss. And from the publisher quickly comes the answer to his embarrassed letter: in the list - nine books. Again, the author clicks. Nine indeed. And the author even doesn't know what to write to publishing house in reply.
  
  Quickly, it is necessary to recognize ...
  
  Okay....
  
  After that, the author felt interest in his own popularity. In one of the electronic libraries, he previously placed his works. But the system of some functions was not very convenient for the author. And he moved on to other online platforms. But his literary works remained in this "former" library. "I do not place new works there. And whether has increased the number of a book readings?" "Are readers interested?"
  
  It appears, the number of a book readings has increased. Readers are interested.
  
  Moreover, the quantity of works has increased. "It's strange... I didn't post new books..."
  
  The author opens the list: "Really, there is a new work ..." "So this book in the publishing house is on sale for rather big money". "It's not good in relation to the publishing house! Yes, somehow, and my material interests, probably, matter ..."
  
  The author writes the letter to this electronic library ...
  
  And then the curiosity regarding own popularity has even more amplified. "How so? Let small, but interest, nevertheless is present in relation to my creativity? I, of course, not Alexandre Dumas ... But I don't apply for his sales level and volume of income?" "Why publishing houses to which I addressed earlier, counting on the publication of my books with clear circulation, with the subsequent sale in clear bookstores, were silent as the Egyptian pyramids at seeing of the European army led by Napoleon?" "The Paradoxes of Schliemann?"
  
  The author enters the name of one of his works in the search line. And ... it's a miracle! At least nine electronic libraries contain his works.
  
  This is what "popped up" at the first places in search results.
  
  And some libraries have more than one work.
  
  And some libraries count the book readings of each concrete work ... But to go deep into studying of this question - it it is necessary to become the expert ... The author has noticed concerning one book - sixty four readings. It is one of several works in one of nine electronic libraries. During the period about one - two months (if to take into account the date of preparation of the book ...). Not Alexandre Dumas, of course ...
  
  And the author began to send letters to the discovered electronic libraries: "I respect you very much! But you understand: the books are on sale... " And so on...
  
  And it isn't so simple to send the letter to some libraries... There are secrets are practical ...
  
  In general, the author had a sports training in writing and sending emails ...
  
  On the one hand, surprise with a touch of bitterness: how so?!
  
  And on the other, the feel of surprise and some complacency: readers are interested! People are reading! It doesn't give the financial effect (to the author), - well, so what?..
  
  The evening was over. The night had come...
  
  Thought the author about the following questions: "Paradoxes of Schliemann?" "Or the genius of Alexander Dumas?"
  
  - No! A book hasn't not rotted! - the author has understood.
