Summary

UN SHERLOCK HOLMES EN KIEV

Por el premiado Andréi Kurkov, traducido a cuarenta y dos idiomas y autor de Muerte con pingüin y Abejas grises (Premio Médicis 2022)

«Un verdadero page-turner».-Jochanan Shelliem, NDR Kultur

«Una novela deliciosa. [...] Como en Muerte con pingüino, Kurkov combina lo absurdo con lo ordinario, lo cómico con lo sórdido». -Isabelle Mandraud, Le Monde des Livres

«Un Kafka postsoviético». -Daily Telegraph
 
Kiev, 1919. Los bolcheviques han tomado el mando de la ciudad y en ella reina el descontrol. En un clima de robos y asesinatos diarios, el joven Samsón Kolechko pierde a su padre y una oreja a manos de los cosacos, y se ve casi por accidente como jefe de la policía soviética. Su primer y peligroso caso, que incluye una oreja cortada, un hueso de plata y un traje de inusual tamaño y exquisita tela inglesa, lo sumergirá en el caos de Kiev y en los brazos de Nadiezhda, una ardiente bolchevique de la que Samsón ya no podrá separarse.

Con aire de clásico, llena de giros, humor e ingenio, la nueva novela del «mejor novelista vivo de Ucrania» (New European) suma a Samsón Kolechko al elenco de los grandes detectives contemporáneos como Quirke o Verhoeven.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A SHERLOCK HOLMES IN KIEV.

By award-winning author Andrei Kurkov, translated into forty-two languages and author of Death and the Pinguin and Grey Bees (Prix Médicis 2022).

“A post-soviet Kafka.” —Daily Telegraph
 
Kiev, 1919. The Bolsheviks have taken over the city and chaos reigns. In a weather of looting and daily murder, young Samson Kolechko loses his father and an ear at the hands of the Cossacks, and almost by accident becomes chief of the soviet police. His first dangerous case, which features a severed ear, a silver bone, and a suit of unusual size and exquisite English fabric, will immerse him into Kiev’s mayhem and into the arms of Nadezhda, a fiery Bolshevik Samson will not be able to walk away from.
 
With classic flair, full of twists, humor, and ingenuity, the new novel by the “best Ukrainian novelist alive” (New European) adds Samson Kolechko to the cast of great contemporary detectives, such as Quirke or Verhoeven.
