Synopsis

Deep in Siberia lies the oldest lake on earth, Lake Baikal. When a small boy arrives on its banks, he is amazed by the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains. As this astonishment yields to inquisitiveness, he begins to explore the fairytale of the area. Nearly thirty years after its first publication in English, Quartet Books is proud to reissue this magical tale for a new audience.

Media Reviews
'A work of art so seamless and so natural one can only imagine it took ages and ages of hard dreaming to construct' --New York Times
Author Bio
Born in Irkutsk, Russia, Leonid Borodin was a writer, Christian and Soviet dissident. He was arrested and imprisoned in 1967. After his release in 1973, Borodin's works were smuggled out of the Soviet Union. The English publication of The Story of a Strange Time led to his arrest in 1982 on charges of 'anti-Soviet propaganda'. He was sentenced to ten years' hard labour and five years' internal exile. Released after four years, Borodin was the subject and narrator of the 2001 film Leonid Borodin: Looking through the Years by Viacheslav Novikov. A winner of the 2002 Solzhenitsyn Prize, he died in 2011. The Year of Miracle and Grief was first published in English by Quartet Books in 1984.
