14.99 €
Pavel Zhang is a talented programmer for a large Chinese company in Moscow. A former orphanage orphan, he stubbornly pursues his goal of moving from rapidly colonizing Russia to the metropolis of China, and feels no remorse, even when he learns that his new project is the basis for the future state chipization of people.
But one day, while volunteering at an orphanage, Zhang meets the man who, years ago, broke his life - and got away with it. The memories awaken a darkness in Paul that he himself fears..... "Pavel Zhang and Other River Creatures" - a novel about trauma and its consequences, about moral choices, about justice - and the relativity of this concept, about Chinese and Slavic mythical monsters - and about monsters real, flesh and blood. "Digital concentration camp, brilliantly shown in Vera Bogdanova's dystopia, is thought by many as the near future. But will it come? The transformation of a careerist into a hero of the Resistance, tragic and convincing, raises the novel to a great literary level - and gives the reader hope." Olga Slavnikova "Russia is for the locals, the locals for China, all at once for Big Brother, and only Little Brother for no one. Psychological drama in the embrace of dystopia, the heroes in the embrace of their own past, taken in the power grip. Little Life as "Little Life" and the near future as a view from the window, which is clearly visible today, but few people have the guts to look into it. Dmitry Zakharov
