Description

Stalin's Russia, 1950. Brilliant young artist Pasha Kalmenov is arrested and sent to a forced-labor camp in the Arctic gulag without trial. Here, he and fellow prisoners are tasked with forging drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, a high-pressure endeavor with severe consequences for those who fail. As conditions worsen and executions begin, Pasha realizes his artistic talent may be his only hope for survival. But what drives the sinister commandant behind this brutal regime? And will Pasha's art be enough to protect him from the horrors that await? This gripping novel presents a moving portrait of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable terror and oppression.
