"EMMA'S SMILE"
With the first character of the novel "Emma's Smile", events occur that are not explained by the usual logic. He remains alive during the dispossession. Does not die in the mine blockage. Bullets don't kill him in war.He does not sink, building pontoon crossings over the Dnieper, Vistula, Oder. He passes unscathed through absolute evil, protected by a force he does not understand himself. And the same power keeps the second hero of the book, his son, alive in our time.Critics have defined this novel as a book summing up the twentieth century.
"THE BACHELOR"
Life is written on unknown media, and people are always busy unraveling these records. "If I were an atom, I would see the ocean in a drop of water. That's how I saw the universe when I was a Bachelor," the hero of the novel thinks about the village where he grew up and which was wiped off the face of the earth by the Chernobyl disaster. This book is not written in words, but in meanings. The author creates a kind of phenomenological picture of life. Perhaps, in modern Russian literature it is difficult to find such an unexpected view of man, society and nature in their unity.
"SHE"
 Escape or return? The hero does not know what to call his departure from Moscow to a village that was deserted many years ago after the Chernobyl disaster. Radiation seems to him less dangerous than lying, which has become a defining feature of a society that is rapidly sliding into totalitarianism. You can't hide from evil in the village of Holochye, where he spent his childhood. Neither memory, nor the friendship of youth, nor first love saves. But the angels, the eternal guardians of this place, will never leave it. "Life has passed, disappeared, and they are putting order and cleanliness on the air so that one day a new one can be written here from a transparent sheet. It will probably be the same all over the world." The world in which She lives, as the hero calls his soul, appears on the pages of the novel.
