House of the Sun

In this new audiobook, the famous writer, actor, director, and screenwriter presents two very different, yet equally vivid novellas. In the first, the author talks about hippies in the USSR and tells a love story between the leader of one of the “system” groups and a young newcomer from a privileged Soviet family. Freedom, dissent, beauty, and creativity of young hippies stand against the existing officialism. In the second novella, everything turns upside down. The greatness of the Soviet superpower—and at the same time its spiritual emptiness—is shown by the author in an “alternative history” of the Union of Soviet Socialist Elf Republics. This reality comes alive through the adventures of the honest and noble boy San’ka in cosmic hyperspace. Fantasy successfully shifts into fantasy and back.
