About This Novel
This book is a work that was not published during the lifetime of the Russian literature master Andrei Platonov. "Chevincourt" describes the story of a group of lonely revolutionary visionaries trying to find and create a new world in the remote county town of Chevincourt. They eliminated and exiled the bourgeoisie, destroyed forests, demolished houses, stopped all production activities, slept in the wilderness, fed their hunger with grass, and relied on the power of the sun to survive. They actively explored and built a new life with their imagination and enthusiasm for the world, but due to the lack of theoretical support and practical experience, they ultimately paid a heavy price. The author is extremely sarcastic and full of warmth towards the "weirdos" he writes about. The novel embodies the author's calm examination and painful reflection on the social trends of the time, as well as his deep understanding and worries about reality.
