A writer from Orel, Yulia Melnikova, created a truly unexpected work - the novel “The Lions of the Selfish Hearts,” which was published in Ukrainian more than a thousand kilometers from her hometown. The book, whose main character is the Jewish false messiah, reformer and rebel Shabtai Zevi, is full of not only mystical plots and meanings, but is also very valuable from a historical point of view. According to the writer herself, “Lviv” is approximately 70% reliable.
