The action of Alexander Arkhangelsky’s dynamic novel unfolds in the near future—almost in every respect indistinguishable from the present.
The heroes are museum curators, priests, PR people—they’re drawn into a conflict around a museum-estate, which suddenly intersects with a military conflict, and that in turn with major politics. Yet war, politics, and money are only the background against which the outline of the novel’s main theme becomes clearly visible—and it is that theme that drives the sharp plot. And the main theme of the novel is love: physical love that binds a man and a woman, and metaphysical love that binds a person and history. What kind of love will the heroes of “The Museum of the Revolution” discover—stronger, more tragic, happier?
