Ahilova smrt

Ahilova smrt

Boris Akunin

A seemingly ordinary spy-detective story told with an astonishing technique will once again convince you that Boris Akunin is the most original contemporary author of crime novels.

The plot begins with the death of General Mikhail Sobolev, a historical figure and Russian war hero, who dies under suspicious circumstances in a hotel room. Although the cause of death appears to be natural, Fandorin suspects murder and begins an investigation. The novel consists of four interconnected stories, each told from a different perspective, including Fandorin's, which reveal a layered conspiracy behind the general's death. The investigation leads Fandorin through Moscow's power circles, where he encounters political intrigue, corruption, and a mysterious enemy known as "Achilles". Akunin skillfully blends historical fiction, detective mystery, and philosophical introspection, exploring themes of fate, morality, and the vulnerability of even the greatest heroes, symbolized by the titular "Achilles' heel". Fandorin, now more mature and melancholic, confronts his own demons as he unravels a complex web of betrayal. The work is known for its dynamic narration, witty dialogues and faithful depiction of Imperial Russia, which makes it a tense and intellectually stimulating read.
