Bronze Horseman. Simons P.

June 22, 1941, when the radio exploded the news of the beginning of the war, Tatyana Metanova acted more like a frivolous Frenchwoman than a judicious Soviet girl. Wearing a white dress with red roses and rejoicing in the summer day, she went out into the street of her native Leningrad to meet her fate. Yes, this could only happen to Tatyana. Of all the young people, her heart blindly chose a fan of his sister, and of all Russian soldiers and officers she liked the American! And it would be difficult to imagine more careless, ardent and happy lovers who excitedly reading Pushkin to each other - if not for the blockade. And not a sister.

“The Copper Horseman” is the first novel of the exciting trilogy of Polina Simons, an American writer who was born in the Soviet Union, but when she was ten years old, she moved to the United States with her family. After many years, Polina returned to Russia to find materials for a new book and, together with her heroes, end up in the besieged city and go through difficult trials that fell to the share of the country involved in the whirlpool of the Second World War.
