delights of reading Soviet fiction
I recently bought a copy of the book that I loved in my teens - two short novels by Aleksandr Belyayev. You've probably never even heard of him, and that's a pity. But all is not lost. Both The Amphibian and The Ruler of the World are now available in English (the latter by CreateSpace, which is a self-publishing platform). I, however, read them in Estonian which is my mother tongue.

"I'm not into crime as a genre, and I always believed the most interesting, and ridiculous, thing about Simenon was not his novels but his claim to have slept with 10,000 women, but this was more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. And deeper"

"“If you sup with the devil you need to use a long spoon.” Old advice needed in this contemporary crime story.
There are many pluses to be found in reading this book. It is essentially a good procedural set in Edinburgh. There is a new drug killing you" Read more of this review » |

"The setting of this novel is more important than the minimal plot. Hans, a soldier who deserted from the German army near the end of the war, is living with his mother in in the rubble of Cologne right after the end of WW II. People use ration ticket"

| Not for me, didn't finish it, stopped at half-way mark. I was given the book as a present many years ago, picked it up guiltily after the giver had died. At first its idea appealed to me: telling a love story through people who met well-known persons ...more | |

“A man is nothing without dreams. A man is called idiot while he dreams. Whatever he does, he'll be judged and thrown away from the circle of clowns. And yet he needs acceptance and security from sick society, which is discriminatory far too often. But a man is blinded by other people opinions. He wants to fly and they say, “You moron, you can't do that, it's forbidden, it's stupid.” And a man gives up on his dreams.”
