The book by writer and art critic Roman Perelshtein includes works of recent years: essays dedicated to the work of religious thinkers G. S. Pomerants and Z. A. Mirkina; prose of the 2000s; the film script “Ta-ra-ra-bumbia, I’m sitting on the pedestal,” the play “Interrogation” and a cycle of poems. The author describes his spiritual evolution without skipping any of its stages. The artistic value of such evidence plays an important role, and sometimes even a decisive one. The presented works reflect the internal changes that occurred with the author, and occur with everyone who returns to the source of their personality. There are many banners under which the path into the depths becomes possible, but there is only one road. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers.
