Cimmerian Summer. Southern Cross
24.99 €
The novels included in this book are not connected in any way, and the action takes place in different countries and on different continents. The main characters are different—a young Moscow schoolgirl, Nika Ratmanova, and Mikhail Polunin, a mature man who has fought in World War II and been forced into exile. They are united by the need to make moral choices in difficult life circumstances and the desire to "live by the truth," so characteristic of the heroes of great Russian literature.
"Cimmerian Summer" is Moscow, Leningrad, Crimea, and the Urals in the 1970s, with a stunning description of the atmosphere, daily life, and personalities of the characters, drawn by a confluence of circumstances into an internal family conflict whose origins lie in the events of the Great Patriotic War, but whose essence is eternal—that very same "child's tear" Dostoevsky describes, which shatters a comfortable life and forces the characters to face an inevitable choice that determines their future...
"Southern Cross" features Argentina, the prairie, the ocean, and the jungles of Uruguay—as a backdrop for events taking place in the "Russian colony" of Buenos Aires, which has gathered emigrants from different eras from Russia—a distant and unforgettable homeland. Furthermore, the narrative includes a detective plot involving the search for a Nazi criminal, and nostalgia is the main core of the protagonist's development.
