Description
Yevgeny Vodolazkin is a philologist, a specialist in Old Russian literature, author of the novel “Lazarus and Larionov,” the collection of essays “The Tool of Language,” and other books.
The hero of the novel “Lavr” is a medieval physician. Having the gift of healing, he nevertheless cannot save his beloved and decides to walk the earthly path instead of her. Thus life turns into a hagiography. He nurses the plague-stricken and the wounded, the poor and the infirm—and the more he sacrifices himself, the more clearly his gift strengthens.
But is it possible to save a person’s soul through love and sacrifice, if he failed to protect its earthly body?
