Reviews
"A dreamscape, a panoramic survey of the obsessions and illusions that protect Russian society's sleep." -- Times Literary Supplement, "Boykov stirs countless scholarly and pseudo-scholarly retellings of stories about race, religion, culture and geography, many of them toxic, into a comical fictional potion...Boykov has reminded a nation that among its most precious resources are the Russian language and its literature." - New York Review of Books, "A dreamscape, a panoramic survey of the obsessions and illusions that protect Russian society's sleep." — Times Literary Supplement, "Blending a novel of ideas with a fairy-tale and satire with lyricism, Bykov in Living Souls gives a picture of Russia in the near future and--as so many others before him--tries to understand the eternal contradictions of his country." -- Independent, "Blending a novel of ideas with a fairy-tale and satire with lyricism, Bykov in Living Souls gives a picture of Russia in the near future and—as so many others before him—tries to understand the eternal contradictions of his country." — Independent

Synopsis
In a world a few decades from now, Russia has lost its influence and descended into a farcical civil war. With an extreme right-wing cult in power, racial tensions have divided the country into the Varangians - those who consider themselves to be the original Aryan settlers of Russia - and the Khazars, the liberals and Jews driven out of Moscow by recent events. Morale has reached an all-time low as the brutality and pointlessness of the situation is becoming more and more apparent: what is left of the fighting now revolves around capturing and recapturing Degunino, a seemingly magical village with an abundance of pies, vodka and accommodating womenfolk. But there is also a third people - timid, itinerant and on the brink of extinction - who lay claim to Degunino and Russia as their homeland. Against this rich backdrop of events, Living Souls follows the lives of four couples struggling to escape the chaos and stupidity of the war around them: a teenage girl who adopts a homeless man, a poet turned general separated from his lover, a provincial governor in love with one of the natives, and a legendary military commander who is sleeping with the enemy. A wide-ranging work dealing with the ideas of language, power and national identity, Living Souls is a comic and thoughtprovoking novel with tremendous relevance to the present day., A wide-ranging Russiannovel dealing with the ideas of language, power, and national identity, thiscomic and thought-provokingworkhas tremendous relevance to the present dayIn a world a few decades from now, Russia has descended into a farcical civil war.

- _***d (6)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- e***z (2818)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificada100% - Fully Refunded as books was not in “very good” condition (the binding was falling apart) I contacted them and they replied within 10 mins, apologize & refunded me the full amount (including postage.) They said I could either keep the book or donate it to an op-shop etc. Even tho the book wasnt in the best condition their communication and hassle-free refund for not as described items was outstanding hence the positive feedback. Fast post, excellent communication - Thank you : )
