Description

Reise ins Herz Russlands Mit unerhörter Intensität beschreibt der Journalist und Schriftsteller Wassili Golowanow seine Reisen auf die Insel Kolgujew, in der östlichen Barentssee. Er entwirft eine von Mythen, Märchen und Legenden getränkte Sinfonie der Region, die sich aus geologischen, mythischen und historischen Elementen zusammensetzt. Seine Reisen führen ihn nicht nur auf eine karge Insel, deren Bewohner von Rentierzucht leben und auf der Erdöl gefördert wird, sondern auch in eine archaische Welt, in der er nach erschütternden Lebenskrisen zu sich selbst kommt. Bis hinein in die Beschreibungen der tief berührenden und die Menschenangelegenheiten in ihrer Schönheit übersteigenden Natur großartig übersetzt, entfaltet sich diese moderne Sage - die wie nebenbei auch ein Lob der Freundschaft ist - wie ein reicher tiefer Fluss, auf dem der Leser in die unerhörten Dimensionen Russlands und der Seele vordringt.
