Description

A book by a magnificent stylist and winner of numerous literary awards, Yuri Buida! “Jungles” is a metaphor for modern Russia—wild and untamed, rushing toward the abyss and, by some miracle, holding itself on the very edge of it. Where straight asphalt roads end and the lights of big cities fade, impenetrable jungles begin—jungles where live, love, and suffer—astonishing people, Buida’s heroes. They are obsessed with passions and often are vicious and not particularly attractive on the outside, yet each of them is a true philosopher who understands how the world is arranged far more than a handful of armchair professors.
