{"product_id":"chapaev-i-pustota","title":"Chapaev and Emptiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eVictor Pelevin is a renowned Russian postmodern writer. His novel \"Buddha's Little Finger\" (also known as \"Chapaev and Void\") was nominated for the Small Booker Prize and was also shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award. According to critics, this work is \"the first serious Zen Buddhist novel in Russian literature.\" The decadent poet Pyotr Pustota kills an old acquaintance, steals his identity, and becomes a commissar in Vasily Chapaev's division. Falling asleep, he wakes up in a psychiatric hospital. Which of these two realities is real? In one, Pyotr falls in love with Anka, has philosophical conversations with Chapaev, and learns what a clay machine gun is. In the other, during group sessions, he delves into other people's consciousnesses and sees Schwarzenegger and Kawabata. Or perhaps neither is real? And these are all variations of the same nightmare, from which one can only wake up? \"Buddha's Little Finger\" is also the first novel in world literature whose action takes place in absolute emptiness. Read in the \"White Bird\" series: Victor Pelevin - \"The Sacred Book of the Werewolf\" - \"Secret Views of Mount Fuji\" - \"S.N.U.F.F.\" - \"Pineapple Water for a Beautiful Lady\" - \"Invincible Sun\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Эксмо","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56290459648166,"sku":"9785042297823","price":18.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/6051\/7542\/files\/9785042297823.jpg?v=1773968464","url":"https:\/\/matveika.com\/en\/products\/chapaev-i-pustota","provider":"Matveika","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
