Burmin, a veteran of the First Russian War with Napoleon and the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, returns from there not quite the same as he was before. The young landowner begins to suffer strange attacks: his sense of smell becomes heightened, his body becomes unresponsive, and then he loses consciousness. He spends years in seclusion, concealing his transformation. A chance encounter with a former love awakens an old feeling within him, and Burmin returns to society. It seems as if nothing has changed in Smolensk society, but a vague premonition of impending war hangs in the air: everyone talks about it, but no one knows it's already on the threshold.

In her new book, Yulia Yakovleva masterfully reinterprets the tradition of 19th-century Russian prose, combining the great Russian novel with the science fiction thriller. The world she presents of 1812 is "a world of hidden, yet terrible social tension in society. Some are constrained by serfdom, others by the norms of accepted decency." War will release this tension and show who is who in reality."
