Description
The first novel in twelve years from the author of the famous intellectual bestsellers “The Lamplighter’s Dictionary,” “A Rhinoceros for the Pope,” and “In the Guise of a Boar”—for the first time in Russian.
This book is a true feast for the senses—not a historical reconstruction, but a living miracle. It matches “Perfume” by Patrick Süskind in vividness of descriptions. This is the story of an orphan who gets a job in the kitchen of a huge ancient estate, and then becomes the most famous cook of his time. Set under the shadow of an ancient legend, it tells of an impossible love that no class differences, war, or revolution can control. After all, the first task John Saturnalia receives is not for a kitchen boy, but for a cook already—something that seems completely impossible: by performing wonders of culinary art, make Lady Lucretia stop her hunger strike…
