The sun is dead. Shmelev I.S.

Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950)-a Russian writer and an Orthodox thinker, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize.

“The Sun of the Dead”-an epic about life in the Bolshevik Crimea in 1921-1922. The novel that gives you to look in the eye. The horrors of the Civil War, hunger, banditry, the loss of human appearance - Shmelev witnessed these events and masterfully conveyed all the shades of despair. “The day by day is worse - and now a handful of wheat is more expensive than a person.”

“A nightmare, shrouded in a poetic shine, a document of the era,... read if you have the courage...”. - Thomas Mann
