The new novel of leading light of English literature Martin Эмиса in Great Britain was named the "best book for 25 from one of the great English writers". "Кафкианская a comedy about Холокост", as one of the British critics defined, opens out absurd linen of nazi week-days. The frightful концлагерный way of life is mixed with fashionable evening-parties, officers engage in love affairs of celled, love adventures interlace with detective collisions. Absolute horror is shifted by jokes and cardiac suffering. Martin Эмис introduces in conversation about horrors of Second world intonation and tints never before sounding in a similar context. The "zone of interests" - it simultaneously both a love-affair and anti-war satire in the best traditions of "Gallant soldier Швейка", acute literary symphony. Мелодраматизм and deceitful lightness of plot serve Эмису only by means allowing brighter to shine absurdity and tragedy of situation and, for a time putting to sleep vigilance of reader, in final analysis to carve the spark of truly deep сопереживания in him.A book contains an unprintable bad language.
