On the Other Side of the Sea

For the first time in Russian — the novel by modern Irish classic Paul Lynch, winner of the 2023 Booker Prize for the novel "The Song of the Prophet," which is already being called the "Irish '1984'" and the "new... 'The Handmaid's Tale'." Bolivar and Hector set out to fish from their South American village in a small boat, barely accommodating two fishermen and a cooler. Suddenly, a violent storm sweeps them far into the Pacific Ocean, disabling the engine, radio, and navigator. There's no one to wait for help from, hope rests solely on their own strength, and it remains uncertain which struggle is more dangerous — against the elements or against their own demons... "A powerful epic of the extraordinary. Lynch has managed to turn a story of shipwreck into a thrilling existential quest" (Le Monde).
