The novel “THE BUKOVY FOREST” (BOOKOVY FOREST) continues the tradition of reflecting on the future started by the works of Zamyatin, Huxley, Orwell, and other writers. The action of the novel takes place in the last quarter of the 22nd century in Berlin, Weimar, Potsdam, Rheims, and the Russian Skete near Murmelon, on the eve of a decisive turning point in the fates of Europe—one that the novel’s characters cannot afford to ignore. If you also think about the future and notice how it is growing into the present, then this novel is for you.
