Once a boy, twice a boy

Andrei is thirteen, and at school he is called the son of a zombachka, because he lied for six months that his mother was alive, although she died. He has a difficult relationship with his father and stepmother, so the stepmother decides to get rid of the boy by sending him to the army. At first, the child's presence there seems strange and unnatural. But soon it turns out that among his fellow soldiers there are many much stranger people. Asya Demishkevich's novel, written in the traditions of the Russian magic fairy tale, simultaneously affirms and destroys the fairy tale canon. A picture unfolds before the reader in which archetypes and folklore characters take on a new, frighteningly topical incarnation.
