“Football Fairy Tale 2012. Match of the Era for the Grail” is a mockery of people’s apocalyptic fears of the end of the world and especially of those who give rise to these fears. This is a politically incorrect, rowdy, adventurous novel with an entertaining plot and funny characters. The time period is 2012, when the ancient Mayan calendar ends. There is anxiety and confusion in Europe. The era of Aquarius is coming, replacing the era of Pisces. A football match of the era will take place in the virtual simulator between teams of light and dark forces. Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, Charlie Chaplin, Che Guevara, Buddha, the Prophet Mohammed and other luminaries against bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Hitler, the Marquis de Sade and other dark men. They will fight for the Holy Grail! The book will be interesting to both adults and teenagers. It comes out on the bicentennial anniversary of Gogol and has many similarities with the grotesque masterpieces of Nikolai Vasilyevich, so it can be called “Dead Souls” of the 21st century.
