Ian McEwan stands as a key figure in modern British fiction, often grouped alongside Julian Barnes and Martin Amis. His novel Amsterdam earned the prestigious Booker Prize, and its Russian translation—masterfully rendered by Viktor Golyshev—became an intellectual bestseller, uniquely winning Russia’s “Small Booker” prize solely for translation work.
The story centers on two friends: a successful editor-in-chief of a popular daily newspaper and a celebrated composer working on a “Millennium Symphony.” They strike a pact regarding euthanasia: should one of them fall into a state of unconsciousness or lose control of himself, the other is obligated to end his life. This darkly comic thriller explores ambition, morality, and the fragile bonds of friendship.
