"There are works that do not diverge into phrases, but are memorable in the fullness of their meaning. Such is the novel The Mousing Wolf by Alexei Varlamov. He loves the word, not the phrase. This difference was well felt by the Russian classics". Evgeny Vodolazkin The novel "Myslennyi Volk" Alexei Varlamov considers "a personal attempt to speak out about the Silver Age." The writer chose one of the most acute moments in Russian history - "the abyss on the edge" - from the summer of 1914 to the winter of 1918. In it live and die heroes, in which guess famous personalities: Grigory Rasputin, Vasily Rozanov, Mikhail Prishvin, scandalous hieromonk-rasstriga Iliodor and sectarian Shchetinkin, intermingle events real and fictional. The characters in the novel love - very Russian, fatal passion - argue and philosophize about the nature of the Russian man, permissiveness, Nietzsche, the future of the country and ... mental wolf - a terrible lovely beast that invaded Russia and caused its troubles ... The novel was short-listed for the "Big Book" award.
