Can the birth of Zeus, the birth of Christ, the Bolsheviks led by V. I. Lenin and the culture of the Renaissance be connected? And what does the underground have to do with it? What does the tradition of kings exiling their wives to a monastery have to do with the cult of the Roman goddess Vesta? In the fourth book, “Bridge Over the Abyss,” amazing discoveries await the reader again. What is this book about? This is an attempt to understand who we are from the point of view of spiritual origin. What is our artistic consciousness and what is our artistic choice, our mentality. Where is she from? Analyzing the origins of European culture. Paola Volkova draws parallels: from Greek drawing to Picasso and Matisse, from the order system of Greece to Corbusier, from the smiles of archaic boys and girls to the smile of Gioconda, from the columns of the Acropolis to the Creed.
