For the first time in Russian - a mature novel by the author of the famous "Revolutionary Road" - a book that was shortlisted for the US National Book Award and served as the basis for the recently acclaimed film by Sam Mendes starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (for the first time together since "Titanic"!). Kate Atkinson called Yeats “a realist of the highest order, the heir to Hemingway,” and the Sunday Telegraph called him “one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century.” So meet John Wilder. It would seem that he has nothing to complain about: a successful career in the advertising business, a loving wife, a growing son, an apartment in Manhattan, even a country house; every evening - a business dinner with partners, every weekend - a cocktail with friends. But something in the depths of this ideal life has cracked, something has disturbed John’s fragile peace of mind, and neither alcohol nor fleeting intrigues can no longer console him. Will he be able to reverse the fate that is taking him further and further along a path that is tragic in its inevitability?..
