Description

A new novel by Vladimir Sharov tells the story of a family closely intertwined with Russia’s fate in the 20th century. Revolution and the Civil War, collectivization and the Great Patriotic War, the years of “stagnation” and perestroika, and finally the social nightmare of the 1990s—these are not just the backdrop of the novel, but its subject, the material that the writer, on the one hand, uses to create a work of art, and on the other hand investigates and interprets as a historian and, no less, as a philosopher—one preoccupied with the philosophy of history.
