Description
A novel about mercy and life at its highest expression!
“STABAT MATER” is the second novel by Ruslan Kozlov. The first, “The Island of Buyan,” was published in 2001.
A new incurable disease has spread through the world. It affects only children. The number of the sick grows, and the hospices where they try to ease their suffering are starting to close. Doctors, a priest, children and their parents lock themselves in there—like in a fortress… Hope of defeating the terrible illness comes from an unexpected direction, but the eternal questions—why do suffering exist, and can it be reduced by human strength—remain with everyone.
“Only by showing everything honestly, without merciful retouching, do you have the right to claim: from any abyss there is always a path to the light.”
Ruslan Kozlov
“It turned into powerful prose that was vitally important for the author to write. You definitely won’t be able to forget this book. Whether you’ll live the same way after it—I don’t know.”
Dmitry Bykov
