Новинки Алекса Ландрагина

Растянувшаяся на два столетия повесть о любви и ненависти, памяти и забвении приведет читателя в Брюссель, Париж и Новый Орлеан, в Океанию и на Маврикий, а завершится глухой предвоенной ночью в приграничной испанской деревушке. Но истории этой не будет конца, и точка — не финал, а лишь передышка, после которой все начнется заново, но уже в другом порядке.

История не закончится, пока в мире остались те, кто умеет совершать переходы.

Мистический детектив, интеллектуальная шарада, литературный пазл для гурманов.

Alex Landragin's "Crossings" is an unforgettable and explosive genre-bending debut―a novel in three parts, designed to be read in two different directions, spanning a hundred and fifty years and seven lifetimes.

On the brink of the Nazi occupation of Paris, a German-Jewish bookbinder stumbles across a manuscript called "Crossings". It has three narratives, each as unlikely as the next. And the narratives can be read one of two ways: either straight through or according to an alternate chapter sequence.

The first story in "Crossings" is a never-before-seen ghost story by the poet Charles Baudelaire, penned for an illiterate girl. Next is a noir romance about an exiled man, modeled on Walter Benjamin, whose recurring nightmares are cured when he falls in love with a storyteller who draws him into a dangerous intrigue of rare manuscripts, police corruption, and literary societies. Finally, there are the fantastical memoirs of a woman-turned-monarch whose singular life has spanned seven generations.

With each new chapter, the stunning connections between these seemingly disparate people grow clearer and more extraordinary. "Crossings" is an unforgettable adventure full of love, longing and empathy.
