Description
A young, inquisitive scientist works in a laboratory with a rare strain of cancer cells. Special mice that carry this strain were sent to Madrid from America. And then Pedro discovers—horrified—that the mice have vanished. But it’s too early to despair: as it turns out, his laboratory assistant, Amador, managed to sell several of the animals to a friend of his who lives in the slums on the outskirts. Pedro and Amador set out to search for the precious mice… and gradually plunge into a strange, bizarre post-war Madrid—less a real metropolis than a grotesque city from a dream. "A faceless city erected out of nowhere in the middle of a desert… conceived without inspiration, but reaching toward the future… toward a place where man is only a diminished copy of the city…"
For the first time in Russian—one of the most notable Spanish novels of the 20th century, in which literary experiments by Joyce, Proust, and Faulkner intertwine with the traditions of the picaresque novel and with a grotesque fantasy worthy of Goya. The book has been translated into 21 languages, and its total print run has exceeded 2,000,000 copies.
