Vita Nostra

A complex blend of adventure, magic, science, and philosophy, filtered through a distinct Russian sensibility, this astonishing work brilliantly translated by Julia Meitov Hersey is reminiscent of modern classics such as Lev Grossman's The Magicians, Max Barry's Lexicon, and Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale, but will transport them to a place fantastical and new.
