About the book: 2011 / The action of the new novel by the master of metaphysical realism takes place in Moscow at the beginning of the 21st century. The main characters, members of the esoteric circle, are trying to understand the meaning of their existence and solve the riddle of the soul. Why does the Russian soul strive for the beyond and what comes from outside like some indescribable ray, infinitely distant from everything that Tradition sets out? What is it like to be a god embodied in the created world? Is it possible to realize the eternal principle in such a hopelessly weak human body and in such a disgusting era in which we live, when all the highest spiritual values are turned inside out, when the world is oozing with ugliness, horrors, perversions, decline, suffering? The quests of the heroes pass through paradoxical mystical experiences and are refracted both in the spiritual world and in the mortal world into special situations in which the reality of Eternal Russia in an incomprehensible way connects the intuitions described in the monumental paintings of Hindu philosophy and the metaphysical revelations of the author of the novel. Grotesque and tenderness, love and death, Russia the martyr and Russia the victor. The tragedy of immense spiritual melancholy, hysterical alcoholic libations and comfortably calm tea parties, failures in the flesh and jumps into the other world make up the landscapes of the Empire of the Spirit. The answers to the questions posed by the heroes of the novel lead them to the secret of the Motherland, to its highest mission, to its spiritual purpose and awareness of the mystery of the Russian soul, called upon to find the Impossible.
