Description
A man wakes up in hospital with no memory of who he is or how he came to be there. As memories slowly resurface, he begins to build a picture of his former life in early twentieth-century Russia, amidst the turmoil of revolution and its aftermath. Eugene Vodolazkin's vivid portrayal of this period is reminiscent of great works of Russian literature. As the man struggles to piece together his past, the pills beside his bed reveal a date from 1999, leaving him questioning how these events can be connected. The Aviator is a panoramic picture of life in Russia at this pivotal moment, richly evoking its sights, sounds and political turmoil. Shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize, Eugene Vodolazkin's novel cements his position as a rising star of Russia's literary scene. With its deft storytelling, The Aviator offers a compelling exploration of identity, memory and the complexities of human experience.
