Olga Marmotta's novel "Journey in Search of the Sun" is an unexpected Scandinavian touch in the Russian literary tradition. The main characters remind us of the Moomins, and their journey through modern Europe is about Nils's journey with wild geese. And these are not the only iconic texts that he evokes. But at the same time, both the characters and the novel as a whole are absolutely artistically independent, there is not a shadow of imitation in them. Olga Marmotta has found her own extraordinary way to convey the self–perception of a modern European person and show the diversity of Europe, which her characters Hare and Marmot drive through - wonderful Murpups that will be interesting to read about for a thinking person, and not only for an adult, but also for a child.
