Erotic-philosophical best-selling novel with elements of detective and mysticism, translated into dozens of languages around the world. The literary scandal that accompanied the publication of the book only more clearly highlighted the importance of the problem that the author explores in a timely and psychologically profound way: the meaning of sex in human life and society. The reader will not only enjoy this unusually fascinating work, “exotic” material and most interesting episodes, but will also discover many new and unexpected things in a subject that seems to be well known, but at the same time mysterious and incomprehensible.

< p>“I have always been tormented by a mystery - the inability to grasp with my hands the sexual experience that slips between my fingers like magic gold. And in this book I will give a lot of examples of this kind, containing an important key to understanding this sacrament" Colin Wilson
