Description

A young man's search for truth takes him to the vast wastelands of the Far North in this haunting novel by Sergei Lebedev. He seeks answers about a mysterious neighbour who saved his life, known only as Grandfather II.

As he delves into the forgotten mines and decrepit barracks of former gulags, the young man uncovers a world relegated to oblivion, where the victims and executioners are easier to ignore than confront. This disturbing tale evokes the great beauty and ruin of a land where human ingenuity destroyed millions of lives during the Soviet century.

Emerging from today's Russia, where the past is being erased from public memory, this masterful novel represents an epic attempt to rescue history from oblivion.
