The book by Mikhail Shishkin, winner of the prestigious Booker, National Bestseller and Big Book awards, includes the novel “One Night Awaits Everyone. Notes of Larionov" and stories. The reader will find in this collection the author’s favorite thought: history - be it the war with Napoleon and the Decembrist uprising, or the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and the dissident movement - is not only the background of human life, but the essence of it, for private life and historical events, the past and the present are inseparable.

Sooner or later you ask the question: why does evil come from good - in general - people who want to eradicate evil? And why - if you want to live your life with dignity, in order not to sacrifice the happiness of your loved ones, you have to balance on the subsistence level of meanness? And is there time in Russia, or has it slipped off the thread and is turning like a nut? And Larionov began to write his notes, and I began to write my first novel, “One Night Awaits Everyone.” Mikhail Shishkin
