Description

«Stars Over the Swamp» is a short novel of 6 author’s sheets. The book was based on letters from exiled Karakozovites (late 1860s). Political exile at the dawn of populism is, in itself, a very interesting phenomenon. On authentic materials, the story reliably depicts life in the northern province—how, in the wild polar wilderness, in the city of Pinega, on the border with the tundra, glimpses of new relationships between people suddenly flare up.
