Description
The novel “The Kingdom of Agamemnon” does not unfold in antiquity. The narration spans the 20th century and reaches our present day—but in many ways it is a reflection of a classic tragedy, and the main characters feel like heroes of an ancient Greek myth.
The story’s hero-narrator, Gleb, is involved in preparing for publication the works of Nikolay Zhestokovsky—a philosopher and monk who spent many years in camps and described his life in a manuscript that vanished in Lubyanka. Gleb gains access to the archives of the NKVD-KGB and, at the same time, the opportunity for long hours of conversations with Zhestokovsky’s daughter. The fate of Zhestokovsky and the history of his family become the foundation of the narration.
