About this audiobook
"Sister" is the first book of the monumental trilogy of Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy "The Walk on the Suffering", a thrilling novel-epopea about the fate of the Russian intelligence on the background of the death of the Russian Empire and the upcoming wind of the revolution. On the eve of the First World War, the silver century of St. Petersburg breathes with decadence, searches and a sense of inevitable catastrophe. Personal dramas, complex love enthusiasms and the search for their place in life are closely connected with global historical shocks. With the beginning of the war and the first revolutionary scatches, the fragile and usual world of the heroes is broken down: poetry and secular salons take place to the crusades, front hospitals, chaos, and severe trials, testing the strength of feelings, honour and humanity. Alexey Tolstoy with a psychological depth and epic scale re-creates the panorama of the breakthrough era, showing how through pain, mistakes and losses human souls are cleansed and growing up. About what the book in three words: Age, Love, Breakthrough. Who to read: Fans of large-scale Russian classics and historical epic, lovers of deep family sags and psychological novels about the fate of people in the revolutionary years.
