The Matiushin Case
ISBN: 9781908276360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Matiushin Case is among the most powerful recent works of Russian fiction. Deriving, like Captain of the Steppe (2013, And Other Stories), from Oleg Pavlov's experience of the declining Soviet Union, it follows Matiushin, a young man damaged by brutality at home and then in the army. Drawing on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's -labor-camp writing, - Oleg Pavlov builds a unique tension between the horrors of conscription and the dreamlike, timeless mode of his writing. Matiushin's -crime and punishment- thus emerge with compelling inevitability; the victim turns killer. This hell... The Matiushin Case is among the most powerful recent works of Russian fiction.
