Alexei Varlamov is called the most diverse writer – his novels and novels easily get along next to the masterfully written biographies in the ZhZL series. Laureate of the Prize “Big Book”, Awards of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the Patriarchal Literary Prize.
The action of the new novel by Alexei Varlamov takes place at one of the most acute moments in Russian history – “abysses on the edge” – from the summer of 1914 to the winter of 1918. Heroes live and die in which famous personalities are sometimes guessed: Grigory Rosanov, Mikhail Prishvin, scandalous Jeromonom -Redorus and sectarian Shchetinkin; Real and fictional events are interfered. The characters of the novel love – very Russian, fatal passion, argue and philosophize – about the nature of the Russian man, permissiveness, Nietzsche, the future of the country and about … mental wolf – a terrible lovely beast that invaded Russia and became the reason for its troubles …
