The book "A Monk in Quarantine" presents the diary of a man who contracted a coronavirus infection and was forced to spend 40 days in complete isolation. The author is a hieromonk of the Russian Orthodox Church, serving in a crowded parish in the center of Moscow, Italian by birth and secular education - a literary critic and historian. The book is a verbal portrait of him. It includes a variety of texts on faith, suffering and the meaning of existence, on Orthodoxy in the modern world and the Church in post-Soviet Russia, on historical disputes between Catholics and Orthodox and the collisions between Russia and the West. At the same time, the author talks a lot about Italian and Russian literature, cinema, art, world history and culture. The angle of observation is very important in the book: thanks to the peculiarity of the life of the Italian Orthodox hieromonk and his erudition, the reader has an extraordinary opportunity to look at Orthodoxy and Russia from the outside and inside at the same time.
