Yuri Vyazemsky is an unusual writer. The themes of his works are also unusual. “Difficult Tuesday” is the life story of a boy who was predicted to have a great and at the same time terrible future - Pontius Pilate. Yuri Vyazemsky’s novel is one of those rare works where history and reality are intertwined unusually vividly. This allows the reader to easily travel to another era and perceive the lives of historical figures as our contemporaries.
