Milorad Pavic is a Serbian novelist, whom critics have dubbed as none other than the first writer of the 21st century. The novel "Another Body" is filled with magical realism.
A phone call. It's Elizabeth Swift's late husband and part-time narrator. Has he really uncovered the secret of the other body and gained immortality? The answers are to be found in 18th-century Venice. Anna and her lover Zachariah find the owner of the house dead. He was performing a strange ritual with a poem, a stone ring that changes color, and the tears of the Virgin Mary. However, it was not witchcraft that killed him, but poison. The heroes decide to repeat the spell, but before that, Anna gives herself to Zachariah for the first time in the middle of a noisy carnival.
The answers are also hidden in Hungary. During confession, the monk Gabriel learns the name of his killer, and then receives a stone ring. Having succumbed to temptation, the monk finds himself in the fiery embrace of Aksinia, who whispers a poem during intimacy. He tries to cheat fate and wash away his sin with the help of the "graft", but fate pursues him and leads him along the path he has been destined for.
