Evgeny Vodolazkin is a novelist and philologist. He is the author of the bestseller "Laurel" and the elegant historical fiction "Solovyov and Larionov". Russian Russians call him "the Russian Umberto Eco," and in America, after the release of Lavr in English, "the Russian Marquez." It's enough for him to be himself. Vodolazkin's works have been translated into many foreign languages. The hero is a man in a state of tabula rasa: waking up one day in a hospital bed, he realizes that he knows absolutely nothing about himself — neither his name, nor who he is, nor where he is. Hoping to reconstruct the story of his life, he begins to write down the memories that visited him, fragmentary and chaotic: St. Petersburg at the beginning of the twentieth century, childhood in the countryside in Siverskaya and Alushta, gymnasium and first love, the revolution of 1917, falling in love with aviation, Solovki… But how does he remember so accurately the details of everyday life, phrases, smells, sounds of that time, if the year on the calendar is 1999?.. The year is 2026. The world is on the verge of a scientific breakthrough. In a secret laboratory, a man whose body was frozen by Soviet scientists almost a hundred years ago regains consciousness. His name is Innokenty Platonov, and he remembers nothing about his past. Trying to find a place in a new reality, he bit by bit reconstructs the story of his life and an experiment from a century ago that can give mankind immortality. And in this, only love that remains timeless can help him. But the further the research goes, the closer the desired result is, the more often those involved in it wonder if its price is too high.
