Lifespan

Anna Semirot is a Russian writer working in different fantasy genres and the winner of the V. Odoievsky 2011 literary prize for maintaining the traditions of intellectual science fiction. One of the author’s best-known books is the dilogy “Azil,” and we are presenting the second book in audio format. After a chemical war that destroyed chlorophyll, only a few survived. On the shore of the Mediterranean stands Azil—a city hidden under a dome. It’s the last refuge for the survivors. But as often happens, clean air and quality food became a privilege of the wealthy. As a result, a revolution took place a year ago. The world changed for the better—air became cleaner, and in the city appeared trees and grasses. But then one day, the radio equipment that had been gathering dust in silence for fifty long years comes to life, and a girl finds a bird. Perhaps new changes are coming to the city. For the better—or for the worse?
