Summary

James Meek: A Testimony of People's Love

In 1919, a stranger will walk from the snow-covered wasteland to the small village of Jazik, deep in Siberia, where a peaceful and somewhat unusual castrato sect led by the enigmatic leader Balashov found refuge from the war. Samarin is a fugitive from a Siberian casemate into which he was thrown by the tsarist police, and now that the Bolsheviks have almost won, no one has remembered to release the prisoners. They simply stopped sending them food.

Samarin hiked through the tundra for ten months to, instead of civilization, run into Jazik, a settlement that is still under siege by a lost and decimated Czech regiment left over from the First World War that fought against the Reds and would have preferred to turn their heels to the wind, but Prague is thousands of kilometers away. The commander of the Czechs, Captain Matula, only wants to know who Samarin really is, but the course of the investigation will bring to the surface much more than anyone in the village would like. The young widow Ana will try to protect the fugitive, but the arrival of the Bolsheviks will disrupt everyone's plans.

"Declaration of People's Love" is an unusual novel written by James Meek, a British novelist, short story writer and journalist who spent the period from 1991 to 1999 reporting from Russia and Ukraine. With the power of storytelling, the choice of theme and setting, he created scenes among which move not characters from the novel, but living people who you won't forget so easily long after you close the book.

"Exhibition of People's Love" won the Scottish Arts Council Award, the largest and most prestigious Scottish award worth ten thousand pounds, the Ondaatje Award, when it was described as a book of the highest literary value and was in the wider selection for the award Booker.

The film rights for this extraordinary novel were purchased by Johnny Depp's production company Infinitum Nihil for Warner Bros.
