Rezension zu „The Light and the Dark “
'Wonderfully lucid and concise ... Reaches over the heads of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky to the tradition of Pushkin' TLS. 'Both philosophically ambitious and sensually specific, evoking the rain on a dacha roof, the smell of blossoming lime trees, or the stink of human corpses ... The Light and the Dark is about everything' Guardian. 'Striking proof that great Russian literature didn't die with Dostoevsky. The prose is lapidary, the evocation of history and the present razor-sharp. A wonderful book' Monocle magazine. 'Mikhail Shishkin has scooped up all three of Russia's main literary prizes and on the evidence of The Light and the Dark he deserves them. Shishkin is a writer with a compelling sense of the skull beneath the skin' Sunday Times.
