Human Ruins: Chevincourt
About This Novel
This book is the representative work of the Soviet literary master Platonov. The novel is set in a special historical period when the old and the new change. From the perspectives of two generations, the father and his son respectively show how people are reborn from the collapse of the old era and strive to find a path to build a new world in the new era. A group of visionaries re-opened the world in Chevencourt and built a new world that "eradicates differences". They abolished private property, demolished forests and demolished houses, lived in the open air, did not work, and relied entirely on the energy of the sun to survive. A group of "outsiders" settled here, hoping to develop a "brave new world" here. However, the enthusiasm of the Chevengur people cannot change the laws of the real world. Without production and creation, life here is becoming increasingly miserable. When the enemy attacked, the Chevengur people, who lacked material support, were completely unable to resist the enemy's attack, and eventually Chevengur was reduced to a "human ruin."
