Description
Set in the remote capital of Kazakhstan, far away from Moscow, this novel begins with a leisurely, almost scholarly air. Soon it turns into a game of professional rivalry between the keeper of the town's museum and the chief librarian, in a struggle for control over the meaning of the past.Tags
