Kirill Kobrin’s book is about a Europe that no longer exists. About Europe - as a type of consciousness and destiny. The author, who calls himself “the last European,” casts a farewell glance at his native world of people who inhabited Soviet cities, British libraries, and Dutch bars. This look is full of gratitude. Here we present exclusively non-fictional prose, prose without lies, non-fiction. The texts included in the book have been published over the past 10 years in the magazines “October”, “Lotos”, “Ural” and others.
