    A new collection of stories by the acclaimed Ludmila Ulitskaya, masterfully translated into English 
     
    “[A] magnificent collection . . . [by] a writer of boundless tenderness.”—Geneviève Brisac, Le Monde 
     
    While we can feel, know, and study the body, the soul refuses definition. Where does it begin and end? What does the soul have to do with love? Does it exist at all, and if so, does it outlast the body? Or are the soul and body really one and the same? 
     
    These are questions posed by the characters who inhabit this book of stories by the award-winning Russian writer Ludmila Ulitskaya. A woman believes that the best way to control her life is to control her death. A landscape photographer wonders if the beauty he has witnessed can triumph over decay. A coroner dedicated to science is confronted by a startling physical anomaly, a lonely widow experiences an extraordinary transformation, a woman whose life is devoted to language finds words slipping away from her. 
     
    In these eleven stories, artfully rendered into English by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, Ulitskaya maps the edges of our lives, tracing a delicate geography of the soul.

    About This Book 
    This book is a collection of captivating stories that explore the boundaries between humanity and technology. Each tale follows an artificial being—whether an AI, a robot, or another form of digital life—on its journey through identity, spirituality, and conflict with the human world. 
    From an AI that uncovers the „Shadows“ of the human soul in a Himalayan monastery to a robot detective seeking truth in a futuristic city—every story invites reflection on the nature of consciousness, imperfection, and healing. 
    An atmospheric blend of philosophy, science fiction, and poetry, this work reveals that even artificial beings grapple with deeply human questions: 
    What makes us alive? And how do we find our place in an imperfect world? 
    (Includes AI-generated texts)
