Seventy-Two Degrees Below Zero. Novel, Stories

Vladimir Markovich Sanin (1929—1989) wrote about people who chose a difficult and dangerous path in life — about polar explorers, firefighters, travelers. He himself belonged to that same restless human breed: as a very young man, Sanin managed to participate... in the Great Patriotic War, after the war he graduated from the economics faculty of Moscow State University, worked at a newspaper, became a writer, and visited the Arctic and Antarctica more than once. The plots of his works are often based on real events, develop in non-trivial circumstances and closed communities (such as, for example, the crew of a ship or an avalanche station). The book includes the famous cycle “The Call of the Polar Latitudes,” consisting of five stories, and the novel “The White Curse,” which was adapted into a film in 1987. The prose of Vladimir Sanin has inspired filmmakers more than once: it is worth mentioning here the film “Seventy-Two Degrees Below Zero” (1976) and the three-part television film “Antarctic Story” (1979).
