Moscow to the End of the Line
Book Review
«Moscow to the End of the Line» by Venedikt Yerofeyev is a cult text of Russian literature that combines elements of poetry, prose, and philosophical treatise. Critics note that the book is a kind of travel diary filled with deep reflections on life, death, and the meaning of existence. The main character, Venichka, embarks on a trip from Moscow to Petushki, and this journey becomes a metaphor for his inner search and struggle. Yerofeyev's style is characterized by irony, sarcasm, and rich language, making the text both tragic and comic. Critics emphasize that «Moscow to the End of the Line» is not just a drunken monologue but a profound philosophical work that touches on eternal themes of human existence.
