Description
The main character of the novel “The Shore” is a man who survived a fierce clash with fascism, a wiser person tormented by many problems of existence—among which, however, the main ones are the same ones born from war.
A well-known Soviet writer goes to Hamburg at the invitation of a society of literature lovers. In the wealthy owner of bookstore chain he learns about a German girl—one who crossed paths with him, a twenty-year-old lieutenant—by the capricious hand of military fate. From here, the second plan of the book begins—the last days of the war. The novel is philosophical. It contains the author’s deep reflections on human happiness, on the relationship between the human individual and society, and on each one’s “shore”—the one to which the moral nature strives through soul-searching and self-knowledge.
