Hearts of Four

In audio format, you can now listen to one of Vladimir Sorokin’s most complex and amoral novels. The main characters are four: fourteen-year-old Seryozha, who survived the Siege of Leningrad; sixty-six-year-old Heinrich Ivanovich Staube; and also a man and a woman—Viktor Valentinovich Rebrov and Olga Vladimirovna Pestrietsova. They form an underground cell and play a strange spy game, the goals of which are unknown to the listener. They are ready for anything to reach their objective and without hesitation destroy obstacles in their way. The novel is full of shocking moments, hidden erotic experiences, and the destruction of taboos. The text doesn’t just describe reality—it becomes reality in itself.
