Viktor Remizov's books were noticed by readers and literary critics, were included in the short lists of the main Russian literary awards - "Russian Booker" and "Big Book", translated into major European languages, and this book also entered the final of the "Big Book" award. In "Permafrost" the author again, as in the two previous books, refers to Siberia. The novel is based on real events. One and a half thousand kilometers of the railway were laid by prisoners from the north of the Urals to the lower reaches of the Yenisei through the taiga and swamps in 1949-1953. The “Great Stalinist Highway” turned out to be unnecessary as soon as its ideological inspirer died, but in four years huge resources were thrown into its construction, the most valuable of which were human lives and destinies. The novel is built as a story of several families. It is about the love, power and beauty of a person, about the formation of a person at a turning point in history, about the confrontation and coexistence of a person and nature. A leisurely, attentive narration captivates and does not let the reader go until the last phrase and for a long time after.
