Two Souls by Maksim Haretski
our publishing debut

Two Souls by Maksim Haretski

“Highly recommended for fans of Franz Kafka and Albert Camus.” — BlueInk STARRED REVIEW


“A Stirring Tale of Inner Conflict and National Awakening.”
— The BookViral Review ★★★★★

As Belarus grapples with the aftershocks of the Socialist Revolution, Ignat Abdziralovich, an officer, finds himself at the heart of personal and societal turmoil. While Ignat searches for love, he uncovers an unexpected family secret that pushes him to rethink who he is, confront the stark realities of class antagonism and pick a side.

Written in 1919, Two Souls offers a courageous critique of Bolshevism, and is one of the earliest existentialist works of Belarusian literature.
