Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Soldier Ivan Chonkin. Set of 3 books. Book 1: The Untouchable Face. Book 2: Pretender to the Throne (the Attracted Face). Book 3: Displaced Face.
The legendary trilogy by Vladimir Voinovich about the life and adventures of Ivan Chonkin. An epic with bold humor and unique author's intonations that will appeal to lovers of satirical prose.
In the first part, the action takes place during the Great Patriotic War. Soldier Chonkin, by order of his superiors, guards a non-flying plane that made an emergency landing in a certain Russian village, while also arranging his own life. In the second book, unprecedented events in the hero's life continue. The further they go, the more incredible they become! Now Chonkin has not only been considered a deserter and imprisoned, but he has also been declared Prince Golitsyn, a pretender to the Russian throne. In the final part of the cycle, Ivan, who has long left the USSR, returns to his homeland to visit his first love.
'History is such a thing, it is such a box, it is such a camera obscura, full of such burning secrets that when you learn them, even some of them, your breath is taken away, your head spins, and your tongue dries up. And you shake your head and think: no, this simply cannot be. But it can, it can, it really can. To be.'
