About the book: year / "The Beast from the Abyss" is an unusually sensual novel by one of the most remarkable writers of the Russian Silver Age, Evgeniy Chirikov, whose prose, having survived years of complete oblivion in Russia (due to the political emigration of the author) returns to the Russian reader today. The novel is an epic panorama of mass brutality, a metaphor for the coming of the apocalyptic Beast, the guides of which are quite good people on both sides of the front line of the civil war: “Some deceive, others are deceived, and everyone is engaged in murders, robberies and destruction together...” Having told the story of two brothers who are fatally pursued, united and separated like a trench by a common “bedroom”, Chirikov quite organically connected both tragic lines in one epic, in which “crazy things are being done... people and events».
