Primitive Sea
About This Novel
This book is a collection of novellas by the master of Russian literature Andrei Platonov, which includes four works: "Primordial Sea", "Potutan River", "The Elusive Man" and "Epifan Sluice". Among them, the novel of the same name "Primitive Sea" was a work that Platonov never published during his lifetime. The novel tells the story of the protagonist, Nikolai Vermo, a strong electricity engineer who goes deep into the grasslands of southeastern Russia and shows off his skills in the state-owned livestock farms. He hopes to use arc technology to drill into the underground primitive sea and use groundwater to turn the dry grasslands into rich land suitable for animal husbandry. The protagonist and his companions intend to use technology to change the laws of nature and transform the universe, thereby realizing the happiness of all mankind. Platonov's weird and bizarre language created a completely unique, difficult-to-imitate, and unattainable world of Platonov's art, constituting a unique landscape of Russian literature.
