A new edition of an early novel by Evgeny Vodolazkin, author of the bestsellers 'Lavr' and 'Aviator.'

'This novel is classic historical fiction. Historian Solovyov restores the rights to the history of Crimea, which was once trampled by the Red Army. General Larionov, who did not leave Crimea with Wrangel, personifies in the novel the secret logic of the course of Russian historical reality. And this is becoming clear precisely now, when there is a corresponding historical demand.'

Elena Shubina, publisher

'A significant and captivating book... Humor and philosophical reflections attract readers of all levels.'

The Herald of Scotland

'Soloviev and Larionov' undoubtedly displays a rich—and at the same time philological, 'Tynyanov-esque'—imagination of the author, an inexhaustible wit, and a talent for constructing complex scenes.'

Lev Danilkin, 'Afisha'
