 A new novel by a famous writer, winner of the "Big Book", "Yasnaya Polyana" and "Book of the Year" awards. In the book, continuing the tradition of the novels "Aviator" and "Solovyov and Larionov", the author addresses his favorite topics: memory, time, history. What will the reader find in "Chagin" — a love story that was interrupted for almost a lifetime and rediscovered before death? the poignant confessions of diaries? an adventurous story about chekists and espionage? a novel in letters? At the same time, everything and nothing of it. Vodolazkin thinks over genres and creates his own — recognizable and beloved by readers — "a novel about memory and the continuity of time."
