The novel Civilizations (2019) describes an alternative history of the discovery of America: the Incas, led by the legendary Atahualpa, arrive in the Old/New World and become conquerors, political strategists, reformers - and even anthropologists as they try to decipher the rituals and adopt the customs of the indigenous peoples Europe. The novel features Emperor Charles V and representatives of the royal dynasties of Europe in the first half of the 16th century, priest Martin Luther, banker Anton Fugger, thinkers Thomas More and Erasmus of Rotterdam, warrior and future writer Miguel de Cervantes. The author experiments by combining literary genres - Scandinavian epic, diaries, letters, poetry, adventure novel. The book questions, if not refutes, our preconceptions regarding the hierarchy of civilizations, while the author maintains accuracy in representing the historical background of current events.
