During the Nazis’ brutal siege of Leningrad, Lev Beniov is arrested for looting and thrown into the same cell as a handsome deserter named Kolya. Instead of being executed, Lev and Kolya are given a shot at saving their own lives by complying with an outrageous directive: secure a dozen eggs for a powerful Soviet colonel to use in his daughter’s wedding cake. In a city cut off from all supplies and suffering unbelievable deprivation, Lev and Kolya embark on a hunt through the dire lawlessness of Leningrad and behind enemy lines to find the impossible.
By turns insightful and funny, thrilling and terrifying, City of Thieves is a gripping, cinematic World War II adventure and an intimate coming-of-age story with an utterly contemporary feel for how boys become men.

Everything about the war was ridiculous: the Germans’ barbarity, the Party’s propaganda, the crossfire of incendiary bullets that lit the nighttime sky. It all seemed to him like someone else’s story, an amazingly detailed story that he had stumbled into and now could not escape. (查看原文)

这结局……这结局我流着泪怒减一分。故事蛮适合影视化的，属于那种谁都能欣赏到的的大俗套起承转合，该说不愧是编剧吗（但是我不知道GOT的粉丝看到这个作者会不会两眼一黑）两位主角一个魅力满点负责留客，一个负责成长惹人怜爱，就是很难想象现役男演员里面最适合kolya的脸是哪一张……听的有声书，Ron Perlman的念白好棒啊👌🏻👍🏻反正一边做饭一边听很适合
