Potvynis Bohemijoje
Translated title: Flood in Bohemia

Genre: Social Novel

'Flood in Bohemia' depicts Klaipeda in the last decade of the 20th century. The events and characters of the novel are created using the stories of real-life (and still living) artists published in newspapers and other written or visual sources.
The vibrant, crazy, bold and hopeful Klaipeda of that time experienced several tragic flood waves over the course of a decade. During the first flood described in the novel, the ship-restaurant 'Regata', which represented Soviet luxury, sank in 1993, thus symbolically marking the collapse of the Soviet empire. During the second flood, the most famous artist of the port city drowned in 1999. The flood acts as a deus ex machina in the novel - it appears when it is necessary to end the story in one way or another

Moskoviada
Translated title: Moscow Festival
Author: Andrukhovych, Yuri
Genre: Thriller / Social Novel
Year: 2023 | Pages: 148 | Origin: LIT | BA Seq Num: 91598
The novel 'Moscow Festival' is the author's reconciliation with the capital of the collapsing Soviet empire, where he had to live while studying at the M. Gorky Literary Institute.
It is a drunken wandering around Moscow by the author's alter ego, and at the same time a character from a true villain novel, whose drinking dens and sewers, the pitiful existence of the young intellectuals of the empire, illuminated by intoxicants and megalomaniac delusions, reveal an increasingly alien and repulsive face of the decaying megalopolis.
The playful, ironic story, studded with fantastic images and cultural allusions, leads to a grotesque apocalyptic climax, in which - how unexpected! - the role of hellish evil is played by the KGB, which has used all the myths of the empire in the fight for survival
