The new book by the famous Russian writer V.V. Lichutin - the author of the historical works "Wanderers" and the trilogy "Raskol" - continues the theme of the novels "Lyubostai" and "Milady Rothman" about the restless soul of an intellectual, about the search for his place in modern Russia . This is the same split in the souls of people and in life...

Unsettledness, loss of primordial natural roots, one’s “ancestral”, deep psychological breakdown of some and moral degradation against the background of visible prosperity and financial contentment of others ...

The author, in his characteristic unique, rich, “Lichutin” language, creates the image of a hero who has not found his place in the new historical realities, but strives to preserve an unsullied soul and a loving heart capable of responding to other people’s pain and social injustice , a heart that, in spite of everything, longs for love, tenderness, human warmth and mutual understanding. The current reader will find out how much he is destined to suffer, what losses he will endure.
