The novel by Amiran and Valentina Perelman continues to develop the ideas of such classical masterpieces as Dante's Divine Comedy, Goethe's Faust, and Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. The first book of the trilogy, At the Turning Point, is an original attempt to understand the impact of changes in the era of collapse The Soviet Union on the picture of the world of the main characters. Each novel in the trilogy is dedicated to its own period of time: a civilizational break as a result of the boom of the 20th century, comprehension of the new realities of the 21st century, an attempt to forecast the development of humanity beyond the horizon of modernity. The novel is written in a light, ironic language. Esotericism and everyday life, fantasy and poetry, philosophy and humor naturally coexist in it. The authors themselves characterize the novel as “a light read with deep thoughts.”
