The Night We Disappeared

War catches you off guard. It forces you to run, to break your habitual life, to ask the questions "Who am I?" and "Where is my homeland?" The heroes of Nikolai V. Kononov's novel cannot answer them unambiguously — they... are displaced persons, stateless individuals, emigrants, double agents, acting between the First and Second World Wars. The stories of an anarchist who outsmarted the Hitlerite intelligence, a young teacher seeking God and herself during the occupation, and a burdened-by-evil scientist fleeing the Bolsheviks abroad, are told by their descendants, who today find themselves in a similar situation. Kononov provides an opportunity to look at the madness of the last century through the eyes of those who, against all odds, tried to survive, preserve humanity, and defend their ideas.
