Edward Rutherfurd is an English writer, author of world bestsellers "London", "Dublin", "Ireland", "New York", "Paris", and others. In the pages of the novel "Russka", a novel about Russia, unfolds a history almost two thousand years long, where real historical figures and fictional characters created by the author intertwine and interact. Having studied a vast amount of literature, he broadly outlines significant milestones, capturing the most dramatic events in history and the place of people in them. Russian literature serves Rutherfurd as a guide through the ages, providing a model for the characters' images and their relationships. Rutherfurd's perspective is, of course, that of a foreigner, another "traveler to Rus": observing, studying, wishing to establish causes and effects, sincerely trying to understand. This novel, conceived and realized during a pivotal period of Russian history and capturing the country as the writer saw it at the end of the 1980s, has also become part of history today. It resonates with an important theme for the author: no matter how many severe trials fall to the country and its people's lot, it, like a phoenix, rises again.
