The novel “Capture of Izmail” by Shishkin, a young prose writer, became highlight of the year, when the author got Russian Bukerov award in 2000. Novels by Shishkin are always like riddles. The action usually takes place not only in Russia (in different epochs and times), but also abroad, in modern Europe and Ancient Persia. By skillful combination of modern vocabulary with archaisms the author emphasizes the equivalence and significance of all ages and events in the Russian history.
