Oleg Zobern – Autobiography of Iesus Christ
new representation
The AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF IESUS CHRIST in the guise of a fictional novel. The language is simple and clear, the depiction nothing but scandalous, the message far more than provocative.
Having received the NOS Award in 2017, Oleg Zobern’s new novel has already been nominated for the National Bestseller Award 2018.
«If we immerse ourselves too much in the text, we may identify ourselves too much with the hero, and run the risk that whenever the real Christ knocks on the door of the soul of humanity no-one will open up because His place has already been taken by this double.»
ANNA SKVORTSOVA in AKHILLA
«Of all the „alternative“ interpretations of the life of Christ, this novel, in my opinion, comes second only to Bulgakov’s „Master and Margerita“, which is, however, much more fragmentary… The Iesus in Zobern’s „Autobiography“ is an icon of the antichrist.»

Grigori Kanovich – Devilspel
new sale
Translation rights for a second novel by Grigori Kanovich have been acquired by Noir Press/ UK – DEVILSPEL.
The novel is set during the tragic few weeks in June-July 1941, when the German army within a few days occupied Lithuania. Kanovich’s writing is informed by his deep native knowledge of the Lithuanian countryside where he grew up in the 1930s, but he is no less intimately familiar with the Russian and Jewish cultures. Yet his real interest as a writer is in exploring the fundamental and universal ethical conflict between good and evil, which transcends the limits of concrete space and time.
The English edition of Kanovich’s other famous novel SHTETL ROMANCE has been published right in time for London Book Fair 2018 where the Baltics will be market focus.
