What measures success? A career, recognition from colleagues, a good family — all this confirms that life has been lived meaningfully, that a person has achieved something. Doctor Dneprov, a talented surgeon, had both, and much more that is expected...
of a successful and respected person. His train was running on well-trodden tracks without veering off course. But the irreparable happened, and the train continued on without a passenger. Doctor Dneprov was pushed out of it. Now he is a wanderer, a homeless person. But it turned out that life did not end with the loss of titles and recognition in society. It became different, but he still remained a human being and — a doctor, ready to help anyone in need. The poignant and candid novel by Andrei Ubogy — a physician, prose writer, and playwright, whose novel "Red Zone" made it to the longlist of the "Yasnaya Polyana" prize — continues the traditions of deep Russian prose that explores the nature of the human soul and what it truly means to be a human. "Doctor" is a subtle story about how sometimes, to help one’s neighbor, neither a profession nor a roof over one’s head is needed; a sincere desire to make the world better is enough. An inspiring life journey of a person who has lost everything, an internal struggle, and the strength of hope even at rock bottom — for everyone interested in issues related to HIV, disability, and social isolation and who appreciates a magnificent command of the Russian language.
