Darkness falls on the old steps (CDmp3)

The work is autobiographical, the time of action - from the end of the Great Patriotic War to the mid-1980s. Under the fictitious name Chebachinsk, the very real town of Shchuchinsk, located in Northern Kazakhstan, is revealed. At that time this town was a place of exile for many people. It was inhabited by old intellectuals, kulaks, deported Chechens, exiled Germans and the remnants of the Russian aristocracy.
The novel has two main characters. Anton Stremoukhov, a young scholar-historian, a native of Chebachinsk, arrives in the late 1960s in the town of his childhood. He wanders through familiar streets, remembers episodes from the past, school, friends, neighbors ... The second central character is Anton's grandfather: the work begins with his appearance and ends with the story of how he died.
The whole book is a sequence of stories, smoothly flowing one into another. They are different - funny, dramatic, sometimes tragic, well-known and known only to a few. Some short stories (for example, memories of eyewitnesses of events) are based on real facts, others are fictionalized by the author. But the main thing - their interpretations, sometimes very original ... Listen to the audio version of one of the most notable books of recent Russian literature.
