For the first time in Russian - one of the most iconic novels of the famous Paul Auster, author of the intellectual bestsellers “The New York Trilogy” and “The Book of Illusions”, “Night of the Oracle” and “Timbuktu”. The unwritten rule says: every great American writer must publish novel about terrorism. And when his friend Don DeLillo wrote “Mao II,” Paul Auster responded with “Leviathan,” where an elusive New York intellectual travels around provincial towns and blows up models of the Statue of Liberty, where love for one woman does not separate old friends, but brings them even closer together, where a mischievous alter ego is always ready to take control and throw your life off track.
