Пришла заказанная на Абебуксе вторая книга Муркока (первая у меня была) из серии про полковника Пятницкого: Byzantium_Endures и The_Laughter_of_Carthage, которые еще когда хвалил кто-то (как выяснилось, не ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The Pyat books follow an anti-semitic Russian exile, Colonel Pyat, through the course of his life from his birth in Czarist Russia to his eventual resting point in Moorcock’s London. Pyat is the prototypical unreliable narrator, and underlying his anti-semitism is the clear fact that he his himself a Jew, something that he goes to great lengths to deny to himself throughout his life.
In addition to his wildly embellished life story, recounted in the first person, it seems probable that the Colonel may also be crazy, as he clearly afflicted by a recurrent delusional paranoia in which he’s stalked by a revolutionary commissar, long dead on the steppes of central Russia.
The Pyat books are in some ways the most ambitious work of Mr. Moorcock’s long career, and offer peculiar rewards, in that the narrator, although charming in a roguish way, is also a deeply flawed creation, and spending psychic time with the character is emotionally trying. (отсюда)
