"The world bores God like a bad theater, where the company is arrogant and talentless, the chorus is silent, and the steps of the altar are forever covered in blood. That's why God hasn't come here for a long time." So says Moras, the hero of the novel, written twenty years ago, but now sounds like a warning. This is a book about sailing in foreign, forbidden waters, the diary of a man who is sure that free thought, and therefore life is possible only in spite of, everything else - just chemical processes. This is a novel-journey where the heroes participate in an ancient mystery and perish because other possibilities turn out to be possibilities for others. Lena Eltang's first book was shortlisted for the Andrew White Award and the National Bestseller Award and has been reprinted several times since. "A bizarre mixture of European crypto-detective (in the tradition of Umberto Eco and Borges) with the domestic bliss of the poor in spirit." So wrote about the novel criticism, calling it a masterpiece and the best Russian novel of recent years.
