The central character in Ludmila Ulitskaya's celebrated novel "The Kukotsky Enigma" is a gynaecologist contending with Stalin's prohibition of abortions in 1936. But, in the tradition of Russia's great family novels, the story encompasses the history of two families and unfolds in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the ruins of ancient civilisations on the Black Sea. Their lives raise profound questions about family heritage and genetics, nurture and nature, and life and death. In his struggle to maintain his professional integrity and to keep his work from dividing his family, Kukotsky confronts the moral complexity of reproductive science. Winner of the 2001 Russian Booker Prize and the basis for a blockbuster television miniseries, "The Kukotsky Enigma" is an engrossing, searching novel by one of contemporary literature's most brilliant writers.
Geroj "Kazusa Kukotskogo" - genialnyj vrach, to, chto nazyvaetsja, milostju Bozhej. Eto otkryvaet dlja avtora ogromnye romannye vozmozhnosti, ved chelovek etoj professii kazhdyj den smotrit v bezdnu: granitsa mezhdu zdorovem i nezdorovem - ta zhe granitsa mezhdu zhiznju i smert, svobodoj i nesvobodoj. Vremja dejstvija v romane - sorokovye-shestidesjatye: izlet stalinskoj epokhi, razgrom genetiki, smert tirana, ottepel, pervye dzhazmeny. Telesnost i, kazalos by, samaja grubaja fiziologija (zdes avtor ne boitsja podojti k samomu kraju) tesno spletajutsja s temoj sudby - v vysokom, pochti drevnegrecheskom ee ponimanii.
