Description

“The Fish King” is one of the most famous works by Viktor Astafyev, whom the author himself called “a narrative in stories.” The “beast and man,” through times of plague and fires, through all kinds of natural disasters—again and again they were left face to face: a bear, a wolf, a lynx—chest to chest, eye to eye, waiting for death, sometimes for many days and nights. Such passions, such horrors of it—made themselves felt. But would it happen that a man and a fish become bound together—cold, thick-headed, inside armor of clothes—with little yellow, wax-like eyes that look like eyes not of a beast, but of a pig? Something like that, could it happen in the world at all?
