This novel is a landmark work for the author. Previously, two parts of it were published separately, with a gap of several years. This edition publishes all three parts of the novel for the first time. Toyota Cresta is a geopolitical novel about love: men and women, provinces and capitals, east and west. This is a book about the double-headedness of the Russian soul, about the harsh beauty of Siberia and the Far East, and about the road. Tarkovsky presents the auto business and hauling as categories that are not economic, but sociocultural; describes the right-hand drive philosophy, the romantic and tough way of life that developed in the deserted Siberian-Far Eastern expanses towards the end of the twentieth century.
