500 Translation of: La vie d'un homme inconnu.
500 Originally published in 2009 by Éditions du Seuil, Paris.
520 Shutov, a disenchanted writer, revisits St. Petersburg
after twenty years of exile in Paris, hoping to recapture
his youth. Instead, he meets Volsky, an old man who tells
him his extraordinary story: of surviving the siege of
Leningrad, the march on Berlin, and Stalin's purges, and
of a transcendent love affair. Volsky's life is an
inspiration to Shutov--because for all that he suffered,
he knew great happiness. This depth of feeling stands in
sharp contrast to the empty lives Shutov encounters in the
new Russia, and to his own life, that of just another
unknown man.
