For the first time in Russian - the debut novel of the famous Dutchman Herman Koch, included in the top ten most read writers in Europe. A popular actor and television writer who studied classical Russian literature at university, he is the author of such international bestsellers as “The Dinner Party,” “The Summer House with a Swimming Pool” and “Reflecting on Bruce Kennedy,” which have been translated into two dozen languages and sold millions of copies around the world. Critics compared the novel “Save Us, Maria Montanelli” with “The Catcher in the Rye”; its main character is a teenager who played a role in the death of a fellow student and for this was expelled from the humanitarian and highly liberal Lyceum Maria Montanelli (a veiled depiction of the Montesori school in which Koch himself studied and from which he was expelled). This “Dutch Holden Caulfield” hates the surrounding cynicism and hypocrisy and dreams of “for everyone to finally shut up, for it to become quiet, like in a silent movie, so that they stop bothering me with questions about who I’m going to become, what I’m resisting, how I’m doing and what Actually, this is what I want from this life.”
