Two fantastic stories - “Chimera” and “Deviant” - adjoin the novel with their moral issues and drama, so characteristic of the bygone 20th century. Can the attempts of the heroes of these stories to make humanity happy come true? Or will all the tragic contradictions of the era migrate to the future?...The hero of the story occasionally displays a strange gift: sometimes he “comes over”... like an epiphany... and he suddenly sees something that is not visible to the ordinary eye, hidden by time or distance.
