The River. Epilogue

There were no streets. There were only riverbeds carved through the cooling ash. There were no houses. There were only blackened, charred skeletons, lifting their dead limbs toward the heavens. His city was gone. His home. His Yuki. His Ayame. Nothing. Only the wind, chasing scraps of what had once been life across the wasteland. And the smell. That same sweetish, nauseating stench he knew so intimately from Nanjing

The River. Part Two. Chapter Five

He returned to the continent an altered mechanism. The void inside him had not sealed, but it now possessed an echo. He no longer fought solely for the abstract divinity of the Emperor, nor merely for the austere, frigid beauty of Imperial duty. He fought for that tiny, radiant ember of life awaiting him in Tokyo. Daisuke had marched to war to shield his sister. Now he, Ichiro, was bound by blood and ghost to protect the daughter who bore the name of their lineage

The River. Part Two. Chapter Four

Winter was obstinate that year, refusing to yield its grip. Even in Tokyo, the air possessed a crystalline sharpness, and the sky hung above the capital like a canopy of faded silk. Ichiro rode the train home on medical leave, yet his spirit remained utterly barren of joy. This reprieve was not a reward; it was a mere punctuation mark — a comma inserted into a sentence whose fatal conclusion had already been drafted

The River. Part Two. Chapter Three

He stared directly at Daisuke. He did not hear the howl. He only witnessed it — the violent contortion of the vocal cords, entirely muted, like a frame in a degraded cinema reel. He watched Daisuke collapse, watched his uniform disintegrate, fusing instantaneously with his flesh. The massive blisters across his back swelled and ruptured in the same heartbeat, unveiling the weeping, incandescent pink tissue beneath — a grotesque, magnificent lotus blooming upon the soil of hell

«Страж короля» — бодрая корейская историческая драма о свергнутом монархе XV века в изгнании

Поначалу «Страж короля» заигрывает с жанром ироничной комедии в духе британской студии Ealing, рассуждая о цене социального лифта: лебезящий староста становится жертвой собственных амбиций (а глава деревни, которую он обскакал, даже заявляется к нему с саркастичными поздравлениями). Но как только личность гостя раскрывается, режиссер Чан Хан-джун меняет курс и начинает стремительно перебирать другие, менее пикантные жанры

“Initially, I held the vanguard,” he continued, “but then Noda matched my pace. We advanced shoulder to shoulder, like two tigers prowling a bamboo grove. Every arc of the blade — a flash of lightning; every kiai shout — a clap of thunder.” “I recall,” Noda interjected, “how the blood sprayed across the snow like sakura petals caught in an April gale. We did not tally the strokes; we tallied only honor.” “By the day’s end,” Mukai declared, “I had cut down one hundred and five men. Noda — one hundred and six”

The River. Part Two. Chapter One

The earth beneath their boots heaved like the spine of an awakened dragon. Geysers of black soil surged toward the heavens, and within them, like the petals of bizarre, carnivorous flora, bloomed scarlet chrysanthemums. They were agonizingly exquisite in their fleeting, furious existence. Ichiro watched one such chrysanthemum blossom exactly where Cadet Yamamoto had stood a fraction of a second before. He perceived no body, heard no shriek

«Иранский дневник»: анатомия паранойи в трёх актах

В современной литературе Иран обычно предстаёт в двух ипостасях: либо как карикатурная «Ось зла» с безумными аятоллами, либо как экзотическая декорация для слезливых историй об угнетении. В своём цикле «Иранский дневник» автор выбирает третий, самый сложный путь. Он показывает Иран как огромную лабораторию, где ставят эксперименты не только над атомом, но и над человеческой душой

The River. Part One. Chapter Five

The cadet corps reeked of carbolic acid, sweat, and the raw earth of the parade ground. Life here was governed not by the cycle of day and night, but by the rhythm of the drum. A beat — reveille. A beat — formation. A beat — lights out. This rhythm seeped beneath the skin, into the blood, becoming the beating of the heart. Individual names were erased, supplanted by numbers and surnames. They were no longer boys. They were a platoon, a company, a regiment

The River. Part One. Chapter Four

In the year the bullet cut short the life of Prime Minister Inukai, the wind blowing over Japan changed its course. It grew harsher, colder, and acquired the scent of steel. This wind tore into their school, stripping away the last remnants of its former tranquility. Discipline, which already resembled a tightly drawn string, was pulled taut until it hummed. From that day on, the school changed
