A visit to the Minotaur
14.99 €
...A famous musician, People's Artist of the USSR Polyakov has his unique Stradivarius violin stolen. This is the plot of the novel "A Visit to the Minotaur" (1972), the impetus for the writing of which was the real story of the robbery of the apartment of the outstanding Soviet violinist David Oistrakh. A classic detective story? Not quite. The novel is exciting and suspenseful, as a detective should be, but at the same time it is multilayered and combines two time layers. In parallel with the story of the investigation, which is conducted by a senior inspector of the MUR Tikhonov, we learn about the great master Stradivarius and his teacher Amati, who created in XVII-XVIII centuries in Cremona. The story of solving a high-profile crime becomes an occasion for reflection on "Salierianism", the nature of talent, human vices and passions, the Minotaur living in each of us. Skillfully constructed composition, vivid genre sketches, lively dialogues, dynamic change of episodes and general cinematographic ... It is not without reason that the novel became the basis for a popular television movie (1987).
