O knihe
Russia, 1942. Outside Stalingrad, Arkady's unit is ambushed and destroyed. The only survivor, the young soldier is faced with a choice: return to the war effort, or try and find his wife, Natasha, located in a factory city somewhere far to the east of the Ural Mountains. Disillusioned and hating the war, Arkady chooses the arduous task of searching for the only person he feels gives him peace. But as he embarks on thea perilous journey into Siberia's vastness, he unwittingly becomes enmeshed in a spiritual and political battle for his nation's soul, a battle being waged not only in the present, but also by towering figures from Russia's past. Meanwhile, Natasha struggles against her own loneliness and despair as intrigue develops around her city's eventual role in a post-war Soviet Union. Told in parallel, Arkady's journey and Natasha's trials form an allegory for the spirit's quest for peace in a world consumed with the pursuit of power. With the forces of history and the world aligned against the individual, how is victory claimed? To this, an unconventional answer is offered - an ancient crucifix. A sweeping portrait of Russia, Beyond the Urals is a journey into the soul itself, probing untouched regions, while exploring the forces vying to occupy and control them.
