Krátky popis
Catch-22 meets The Brothers Karamazov in the last great satire of
the Soviet EraThe Great Patriotic War is stumbling to a close, but
a new darkness has fallen over Soviet Russia. And for a disparate,
disconnected clutch of wanderers - many thousands of miles apart
but linked by a common goal - four parallel journeys are just
beginning. Gorych and his driver, rolling through water, sand and
snow on an empty petrol tank, the occupant of a black airship,
looking down benevolently as he floats above his Fatherland, young
Andrey, who leaves his religious community in search of a new life,
and Kharitonov, who trudges from the Sea of Japan to Leningrad,
carrying a fuse that, when lit, could blow all and sundry to
smithereens. Written in the final years of Communism, The Bickford
Fuse is a satirical epic of the Soviet soul, exploring the origins
and dead-ends of the Russian mentality from the end of World War
Two to the Union's collapse. Blending allegory and fable with real
events, and as deliriously absurd as anything Kurkov has written,
it is both an elegy for lost years and a song of hope for a future
not yet set in stone. Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk
