Description
The Outskirts of Grozny. The Second Chechen War. A unit of young, cheerful, angry OMON officers arrived to fight.
Saint Spas is a quiet little town lost among Russian hills and plains. A six-year-old boy, tender and vulnerable, living out his childhood. A grown young man who loves fiercely—bloodily jealous.
The line between the former and the present, between the world and the war—has been erased, blurred. The main hero, Yegor Tashevsky—a “man with a fragile psyche and timid courage”—can’t fit the war into his idea of what’s normal.
“The Pathologies” is a whole world where there is pain, blood, and death—but there is also love, prophetic dreams, and hope for the future.
“The Pathologies” is a novel that introduced Russia to Prilepin’s prose. A novel about a person at war and about war inside the human mind.
