They are like people, only made of strong wood.
They are few in number, and they hide.
Their life is a mystery.
Once, 300 years ago, they were called "idols" and almost all were destroyed; only a few survived.
In the provincial town of Pavlovo, something strange is happening: a renowned historian is murdered, and from his house, filled with rare icons and expensive electronics, a mysterious thief has taken... only a piece of an ancient idol, the head of a wooden sculpture of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa.
"The Mahogany Man" is a journey into a secret world where neither laws nor logic apply; where there is only passion and the agonizing search for the ideal.
"The Mahogany Man" is a paradoxical story of how death is transformed into love, suffering into hope.
This is an attempt—perhaps the first in Russian literature—to uncover the secrets of the unification and fusion of Slavic paganism with Orthodox Christianity.
And, of course, it is a debate with God. Because man, created in the image of God, cannot help but come into conflict with his creator.
