“The Lost Paradise” is Alexander Lapin’s novel, the first book of the “Russian Cross” cycle; genre: modern Russian literature.
A novel about those whose youth coincided with the carefree period of stagnation, and upon whom the main blow in the 1990s fell—demanding a “choice of path,” a “reworking” of worldview, and the creation of a new picture of the world. An intimate diary spanning a vast period from the late 20th century to the early 21st reveals the twists and turns of the fates of several school friends within the context of historic events.
The first book of the novel is “The Lost Paradise,” about the youth of the main characters. Four close school friends—students of the upper grades—must leave their native village to find their way in life… In each of our fates there is our own lost paradise—our youth; the place where we were born; the great country where we all once lived… And if we set aside social aspects, it’s impossible not to notice: this book is about love—maybe above all, about love.
