Dmitry Raskin is a writer, poet, playwright, working at the intersection of literature and philosophy. The book includes three fantastic stories - three intense, exciting plots, united by philosophical and moral issues. The heroes of Ruskin's works struggle with passions and phobias, outgrow their dreams and hopes, their understanding of Good and Meaning, and their own projects of heaven. The situations in which they find themselves - be it a meeting with extraterrestrial intelligence, exploration of the worlds they have discovered, or phantasmagoric games in the Czech Republic - force them to peer into the depths of existence and into themselves closely and mercilessly, and not all of them are able to withstand this tension.Tales built on a combination of fantastic intrigue, philosophical parable, tough psychologism..
