“The Rape of the Sabine Women” is a collection of magnificent stories by the famous poet, prose writer and translator Boris Kosenkov. Sometimes witty and funny, and sometimes serious and even harsh, these works give reason to think about our lives, and the author’s seemingly inexhaustible imagination makes reading stories truly fascinating. In one book, fantasy and farce, political satire and impressive stories about war harmoniously coexist. This collection is truly unique, not only for its diversity, but also for the writing talent that radiates from every line of The Rape of the Sabine Women.
