In the novel "Orthography" paints a picture of the post-revolutionary city of Petrograd: hunger, cold, books burning in the oven, and no one knows what the new era will bring. The old alphabet has been replaced, and with it the Russian orthography. The protagonist of the story lives in such a special era: fear and the pursuit of truth, honor and betrayal, special humor, special love for "the edge of the abyss". Orthography is probably the most unusual novel about the Russian Revolution, a novel about the spelling reforms because of the revolution from the point of view of a letter, told from the point of view of a man who no longer has a place in it Collapse of the world. It's a book based on solid historical material, but it's really, to a greater extent, about what's going to happen now. here, now. be with you.
