Dark Lida. Stories and short stories
9.99 €
Vladimir Lidsky's book contains novels and stories, the heroes of which are inextricably linked to Lida - a small Belarusian town that witnessed the tragic events of history. For the author it is a kind of Macondo - a semi-mythical ancestral nest, where his distant ancestors once lived.
Looking into the fates of his characters, Lidsky unfolds before us a comprehensive historical canvas of the first half of the XX century - a terrible time of turmoil, darkness and upheaval, when "the cosmic hum was hanging over the country".
The fascinating plots of the book flow one into another; stories and short stories are written in one sentence without capital letters, as if fragments snatched from the flow of speech. As the author says, "almost all my texts tell about characters who are dissolved in time, and against the background of their stories I try to show how time flows into itself and repeats itself". This is a lively, engaging narrative that draws the reader into a vortex and keeps him or her engaged until the very end.
