- Synopsis
- An award–winning &“satirical political thriller follows the . . . adventures of a Russian gem cutter . . . and the consequences of his affair with a virtual stranger.&”(Publishers Weekly) Professor Anfilogov, a wealthy and emotionless man, sets out on an expedition to unearth priceless rubies that no one else has been able to locate. His expedition reveals ugly truths about man&’s disregard for nature and the disasters created by insatiable greed. In 2017, winner of the Russian Booker Prize, Olga Slavnikova stuns with a witty, engaging, and remarkable tale of love, obsession, murder, and the lengths people will go to get what they want. &“Slavnikova&’s characters are magnetizing, and her crystal clear vision of a world in which &‘commercial infinities&’ choke off humanism and art is salubriously caustic.&” —Booklist
