Description
The Bickford Fuse by Andrey Kurkov In the final years of Communism, a disparate group of individuals embark on parallel journeys, each linked by a common goal. A black airship floats above its Fatherland, while a young man leaves his religious community in search of a new life. Meanwhile, a driver and his passenger traverse the Soviet landscape, and a man trudges from the Sea of Japan to Leningrad, carrying a fuse that could change the course of history. This satirical epic explores the origins and dead-ends of the Russian mentality, blending allegory and fable with real events. Written by Andrey Kurkov, The Bickford Fuse is a complex and thought-provoking novel that delves into the Soviet soul. Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk, this book offers a unique perspective on the Soviet era, one that is both a lament for lost years and a song of hope for a future yet to be written.
