"Great Fishes" is an experimental novel about the most traditional and timeless. Its action takes place in Samaria - and at the same time in a dozen countries; it lasts a few minutes - and more than two thousand years; there are many main characters in it, and yet the main person is one... This is an attempt to combine hagiographic literature with historical chronicle and fiction with non-fiction; look at the phenomenon of holiness - through the eyes of a historian and at history - through the eyes of a saint. An Egyptian monk and a Bulgarian hermit, a Georgian queen and a Russian princess, a Czech bishop and Serbian prisoners... All of them are “great fish”, somewhat similar to each other, which no time or space boundaries would separate them. On the pages of the novel they are adjacent to each other, and their destinies - so different - add up to one fate and one never-ending story.
