Description
"Darkness at Noon" is the second book of Yury Slepukhin’s World War II tetralogy: this cycle is a large-scale canvas in which the author vividly and convincingly depicts the pre-war days, Nazi occupation, underground activity, labor camps, and everyday survival.

The main characters of the first novel are ordinary teenagers who, at 16–17 years old, are sure that nothing is impossible in the world—and that everything in their lives is still ahead. Tanya Nikolaeva—spirited and confident—plans to enter the Faculty of Philology, Sergei Dezhnyev—serious and purposeful—dreams of creating the first automatic factory in the world, and Lyusya Zemtsyeva dreams of becoming a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, just like her mother. These kids had everything—hopes, plans, friendships, and first love—but in the morning after their graduation night they learned that war had begun.

Slepukhin’s dynamic, vivid, gripping books haven’t aged a bit, and they seem just as relevant now as they did half a century ago.

Listen to the real classics of the 20th century performed brilliantly by Aleksey Bagdasarov.
