Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of post-Revolution Russia, this play explores the challenges faced by the Pesiakoff family as they adapt to life in a railway carriage. Inspired by the author's own family history, the story delves into their material and spiritual struggles. The father, ostensibly a Telephone Examiner, becomes preoccupied with recording sound on film, but with Lenin's death, their plans unravel, leading to a desperate flight. The play poignantly captures the intersection of personal ambition and historical upheaval.
