More info A new novel by one of the leading contemporary writers. A gripping adventure story filled with political satire, biting humor and unique Sorokin style. Continuation of the legendary story «Snowstorm». The genre basis for the new book by Vladimir Sorokin was an adventure novel. There are so many unexpected plot twists and absolutely incredible stories in «Doctor Garin» that it would be enough for several works, and the author’s imagination goes beyond all possible boundaries. It all starts in the sanatorium «Altai Cedars», the chief physician of which is Dr. Garin, who is rested, eaten and received titanium prostheses — instead of the frostbitten legs in the story «Blizzard».

In this company, Dr. Garin will set off on his incredible journey through the outlandish post-apocalyptic world. «Dr. Garin» is perhaps the most unpredictable and dashingly twisted novel Sorokin has ever written. Annotation Platon Ilyich Garin is the chief physician of the Altai Kedry sanatorium. Here, far from the hustle and bustle, special elite patients while away their days.

However, the carefree days in the sanatorium are coming to an end, and soon Dr. Garin will have to go with his strange patients on an amazing journey. …
