Vladimir Orlov. The Exhaustion of Time

This is a complex book, like all of Vladimir Orlov's works. His works have not only been translated into many languages ​​but have rightfully become classics of modern fiction (Viola Player Danilov, The Pharmacist, The Jack of Diamonds, Incident at Nikolskoye, and others). Many of them have been adapted for the screen, while others are awaiting their time.
This book also includes his first novel, "Salted Watermelon," and his final story, "The Exhaustion of Time." It contains both the phantasmagoria the author resorted to throughout his creative career and reality—it's no secret that he always spoke only the truth.

"He [Vladimir Orlov] continued his Russian literature, creating a world within the framework of Moscow – which he knows and feels like no one else – and beyond its borders…" Yuri Rost

"Let this book, in which his first novel is juxtaposed with his last story, be for someone a discovery of the world that lies beyond the boundaries of this collection." Lydia Orlova
