From the Publisher:
A drama of passion and privation unfolds in this extraordinary novel, acclaimed at once for its gemlike prose and its hypnotic intensity. A scientist, a lover of life, a man of powerful sensual appetites, unexpectedly finds himself tested in the crucible of history. In a city under siege, nearly wrung of life and hope, he is faced with a life-or-death choice - an occasion for him to betray not only the woman he loves but also the principles he holds most dear. Leningrad during the German siege is the back drop of this tragic portrait of survival. |
Annotation:
Based loosely on the life of a Russian biologist named Nikolai Vavilov, this novel is about a scientist who looks back from old age on his years in Russia, his imprisonment during the Stalin years, the horrors he and his compatriots endured during World War II--and his many infidelities to his faithful wife, who died while he (by guile) survived.
