The Abode

Zahar Prilepin - prose writer, publicist, musician, holder of the "National Bestseller", "SuperNatBest" and "Yasnaya Polyana" awards... He gained fame with the novels "Pathologies" (about the war in Chechnya) and "Sanyk" (about young national bolsheviks), as well as "boyish" stories - "Sin" and "Boots Full of Hot Vodka". In his new novel "Abode", the writer addresses a different time and a different experience. Solovki, the late twenties. A wide canvas of Bosch-like scale, with dozens of characters, clear traces of the past and reflections of future storms - and an entire life fit into one autumn. A twenty-seven-year-old young man finds himself in a camp. Majestic nature - and a tangle of human fates, where it is impossible to distinguish executioners from victims. A tragic story of one love - and the story of an entire country with its pain, blood, and hatred, reflected in the Solovetsky Island, like in a mirror.
