Chapter XVII opens in the village of Obrutchanovo, where once the arrival of the engineer’s family brought a burst of curiosity and a glimmer of change. At the time, the construction of the bridge and villa felt like a sign of transformation, a novelty that hinted at something grander.

The Post
The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

He requested a private audience with the King, claiming to possess a secret that could both preserve and endanger the kingdom.
