El Kremlin de azúcar

During the Christmas holidays of 2028, a multitude of children flock to Red Square to collect an unusual gift: an ephemeral sugar Kremlin, soluble in tea, a symbol of the new Russian state. Over fifteen chapters, these peculiar sweets are passed from hand to hand, reaching every stratum of Russian "neo-medieval" society: a world where holograms and robots coexist with a feudal order that divides the population between lords and serfs, oprichniks and the oppressed. With his characteristic virtuosity and boundless imagination, Sorokin weaves in this book a singular tale of tales, as biting as it is insightful, which reads like a vast encyclopedia of the Russian soul and the vicissitudes of an entire nation.
