Über diesen Titel

Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what devils or wicked witches are to Western European culture: a menacing, evil figure, the villain of countless stories that have been passed on through story and text for generations. But Koschei has never before been seen through the eyes of Catherynne Valente, whose modernized and transformed take on the legend brings the action to modern times, spanning many of the great developments of Russian history in the 20th century.

Deathless, however, is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever child of the revolution, to Koschei’s beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way, there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told, Deathless is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology, of love and death, which will bring Russian myth back to life in a stunning new incarnation.

I loved the reader's voice, and the story was definetly weird, but I loved it. It was very unexpected, and much like a foreign fairytale. It's certainly not everyone's style, but loved how different the story was, how out of this world and yet so close to the heart.

Best book I've listened to in a long time!

A really fine dark story, read extremely well. As in other fantasy works by Valente, the boundaries of the plot and world continue to expand all the way to the end.

A great grim tale retold in our time, boldly and without compromise
