The novel “Deviation” is magical realism, romantic love and vicious passion, occult practices and spiritual quests of Eldar (one of the main characters of “Luci”) in his youth, against the backdrop of the turbulent events of 1989 - 1993. To understand why the Eldar became the way they are described in "Luci", you need to read "Deviation". Part one "Maya" - introduction, first chord, prelude; damn questions and awkward answers. In the spring of 1989, Eldar returned home from military service to Gorodok, a regional center not far from Kyiv. Lives with his mother in a two-room Khrushchev house. He is twenty, his soul is filled with hundreds of books read and many skeletons in hidden closets that pull tentacles from childhood. How to live further? The world has changed... Moreover, Eldar inherited magical abilities from his ancestors, and three Entities have lived in him since childhood, who often argue with each other and do not give rest to their bearer.
