Here is one of the most famous English novels of the 1920s, which was enthusiastically read by Evelyn Waugh and Graham Green, Herbert Wells and Aldous Huxley. In this tragicomic, with elements of the autobiography of the story of the Anglo-Belgian family in Siberia during the Civil War and the Allied intervention, all the bright features of the style of William Gerhardi are intertwined - a mixture of comedy and pathos, melancholy and farce, satire and deep lyricism.
A swarm of the most bizarre personalities passes before our eyes - depressed officers, possessors, mad priests, lunatic satire - Gerhardi's world is shattered and disoriented, ridiculous and ridiculous, gloomy - and full of the brightest expectations. It is a world in which a huge senseless slaughter has just ended, but everyone feels that it will not end there. Hence the tragic atmosphere of the novel, its caustic irony and stoic philosophy, bringing it closer to the works of other authors of the “lost generation”. The publication for the first time presents a full translation of the novel “Polyglots” into Russian.
