It’s reread even today in more than 20 countries around the world. “Alteist Danilov” is a novel about eternal values, about great love as the foundation of creativity. In this poetic, airy work, like music, everything is intertwined: a wild flight of imagination and sharp social satire with real evidence—though of a recent, our history.
