«A orillas del amor» is the coming-of-age novel by Andreï Makine, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
In Svetlaia, a Siberian village in the shadow of the Gulag camps, Mitia recalls from exile his childhood and adolescence with Samurai and Utkin. Love, initiation rites and the fascination with the West, fuelled by the Trans-Siberian Railway and Jean-Paul Belmondo's films at the October Red cinema, shape his sentimental education.
The novel was originally published as «Au temps du fleuve Amour» in 1993; this edition, part of the Narrativa collection, appeared in 2001.
For readers of literary fiction and coming-of-age stories set in twentieth-century Russia.
