Description

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of 1920s Paris, Gaito Gazdanov’s Buddha's Return follows a young man who becomes entangled in a complex criminal underworld after a chance encounter. This evocative novel masterfully blends existential inquiry with the tension of a noir thriller, capturing the alienation and moral ambiguity of the Russian émigré experience in interwar Europe.
