Stabat Mater. A Novel about Mercy

Ruslan Kozlov was born in 1957 in Novorossiysk. He graduated from the Philology Department of Rostov University. He worked for the Leningrad newspaper "Smena", then, already in Moscow, for the newspaper "Sobesednik", on television, and was a freelance journalist. Today he is an employee of a charitable foundation that helps seriously ill children. "STABAT MATER" is Ruslan Kozlov's second novel. The first, "Buyan Island", was published in 2001. The world is engulfed by a new incurable disease. It affects only children. Sick people are becoming more and more, and hospices, where they try to ease their agony, begin to close. Doctors, priest, children and their parents are locked there like in a fortress... Hope to defeat the terrible disease comes from an unexpected side, but the eternal questions - why suffering is necessary and whether it is in human power to reduce it - remain with everyone. "Only by showing everything honestly, without sparing retouching, you have the right to say - from any abyss there is always a way to the light." Ruslan Kozlov "It turned out to be a powerful prose, which it was vital for the author to write. You will definitely not be able to forget this book. Whether you will still live after it - I don't know". Dmitry Bykov
