From the publisher The novel "Round Dance" allows readers to break out of today's everyday routine, step away from mundane reality and the roughly erased language corresponding to it, into a much more beautiful time and space, because the time of the novel is the thirties and forties of the 19th century, the time of the Caucasian wars and exiled Decembrists, romantic loves, duels and disputes in Parisian salons.

A. Utkin became a finalist for the 1996 Booker Literary Prize for his novel “Round Dance.”
