Many people watched the outstanding TV series “Moscow Saga”—featuring Yury Solomin and Inna Churikova, Sergey Bezrukov and Kristina Orbakaite—an adaptation of rare psychological depth and the precise power of literary language. Many readers have already become familiar with the book. Now it’s time to hear it. Real prose should be experienced by listening—slowly, attentively, savoring every intonation.
“Prison and the World” is the final part of the trilogy. The war is over, and people think that ahead lies, at last, a different—free and happy—life. But the Stalinist era has not yet come to an end.
