Вячеслав Рыбаков anymore by a sign to the readers as bright writer-fantasy, creator of "Hearth on a tower", "Гравилета "Цесаревич" and Хольма ван Зайчика. However his publicism not at all no less convincing, than prose. "Screw-thread on an ideal" not simply the collection of reasons, made from works of the last years, - it the whole book ranged thematically and intonation, as it a single symphony. The circle of the affected themes is extraordinarily actual: right on truth, right on originality, results of liberally-humanistic revolution, resulting in a situation, where instead of softening of dispositions we get softening influence of brains, and also row of other problems perturbing not indifferent contemporaries.
