What are refugees whispering about? How do they make sparrow soup in Sochi? What kind of ice cream do billionaires eat? How did it start and when will it end? In The Poor People's Bible, literature is as accurate as journalism, and journalism is as beautiful as literature. The New Testament features reporting from some of the most dangerous and unusual places. “The Old Testament” are poetic stories about bone-chilling everyday life. “Apocrypha” is our story, turned inside out. Evgeny Babushkin, winner of the Debut Prize and the Gorchev Prize, the most promising storyteller of his generation, wrote the first book. A funny and scary book about how everything in the world works.
