Dry Ravine. Blagovest

“Dry Ravine. Good News” is the concluding part of Alice Klim’s historical trilogy, a continuation of the book “Dry Ravine. Renunciation.” The author presents a whole series of the most complex crises of a labor camp. Whether it’s an unexpected inspection, an epidemic, or a crime—by joining forces, the heroes solve these problems. Suffering and fighting, protecting others and trying to preserve their humanity, the people in the camp outposts realize who they are and where they belong in this life. Love becomes a litmus test of changes happening against the backdrop of a deep drama of the entire people. Even as clouds gather, inspections and denunciations continue—the camp lives. And here, deep in Siberian soil, people put on performances, fall in love, have children, and even uncover crimes. The author includes references to real facts and events. What’s more: in the book you’ll find convenient QR codes that will let you immediately access articles or historical documents. “The finale is a bubbling cauldron of feelings and emotions. Stakes are higher than ever. Love and friendship are tested for strength, and uncovering old secrets threatens the beloved heroes with real danger. Great completion of the cycle!”—Aleksey, author of the “Read Books” channels. “The book impressed with its dynamism and, at the same time, with its warmth, the subtlety of psychological depth. A bitter era challenges faith, hope, and love. Survival in a camp seems like less of a task than preserving humanity and the ability to feel. It keeps you on edge to the very end: what will the outcome be? You make guesses… and still end up surprised!”—Yuliya Dvoretskaya, author of “The Geography of Dostoevsky,” psychologist.
