In Paris, a Russian émigré is tormented by the contradiction between his lofty spiritual aspirations and his equally strong base desires, as well as by the guilt of committing a single murder during the civil war. Unexpectedly, he discovers that the man he believed he had killed—Alexander Wolf—is still alive. The protagonist sets out to find him and, after a series of extraordinary coincidences, finally encounters him.
The Specter of Alexander Wolf is one of the finest Russian novels in the thriller genre, with a gripping plot. However, its merits extend far beyond the confines of the genre. The meeting with Alexander Wolf becomes a vivid reflection on the fate of an entire generation of émigrés, filled with subtle irony and lyrical undertones. From beginning to end, the novel carries an autobiographical essence.
