Designer Zhorca. Book One. Boys
The new novel by Dina Rubina will take the reader on a journey through Soviet Astrakhan, Poland, and wartime Bukhara. “Boys” is the intriguing setup for a grand adventurous story “Designer Zhorca”.
In the house of ten-year-old Itzik, 387 hours are...
counted in different voices. The unique collection was started by the boy’s grandfather, and then continued by his father — both skilled watchmakers. Fleeing from the Nazi invasion, the family ends up in evacuation. Several years later, Itzik, now calling himself Caesar, returns to his ancestral home, but instead of the clock collection finds only ruins. This loss will push him into a scheme that the newspapers will call “The Elegant Robbery”.
Decades later, Designer Zhora will make his entrance. He is also known as Georges, Georg, Jurgen, Shchors — depending on the country of residence. But for now, he is just a strange orphan boy Zhorca. Fate will bring him together with the elderly Caesar Adamovich, who now works as a mechanic-laboratory assistant in a leprosarium. Their lives will be connected by the secret of one collection.
