Украсть Ленина
Ленин и Кощей Бессмертный что, казалось бы, общего между ними? Один из старой русской сказки, другой из новой русской истории. Одного одолел Иван Дурак, другой сам одолел несколько миллионов таких Иванов. Но пока оба они лежат поверх земли в своих хрустальных гробах - ни мещанин, ни олигарх не будут спать спокойно. Потому что всем есть дело до Ленина и Кощея всем охота узнать, где их смерть и каково это обладать их властью
Новый роман букеровского лауреата Алекса Тарна «Украсть Ленина» полон искрометного юмора и живой фантазии. Тут и Израильский заговор, и проверенная годами дружба бывших одноклассников, и готические подростки, готовые на все, чтобы уснуть рядом с настоящим мертвецом. Никогда еще на русскую историю писатель не смотрел так трезво и весело!
----------------------------------------------------
Lenin and Koschey the Deathless, what would seem to be common between them? One from an old Russian fairy tale, the other from a new Russian history. One was defeated by Ivan the Fool, the other himself defeated several million such Ivans. But while both of them lie above the ground in their crystal coffins, neither the tradesman nor the oligarch will sleep peacefully. Because everyone cares about Lenin and Koshchey, everyone wants to know where their death is and what it's like to have their power.
Booker laureate Alex Tarn's new novel "Steal Lenin" is full of sparkling humor and lively fantasy. Here is the Israeli conspiracy, and the friendship of former classmates tested over the years, and Gothic teenagers ready to do anything to fall asleep next to the real dead.
Never before has a writer looked at Russian history so soberly and cheerfully!
