The three novels included in this book are three worlds, three sides of life. In the novel "The Light in the Window" action takes place on the other side of existence, in the afterlife, where after death the protagonist falls. But this afterlife is not quicksilver and ephemeral, as in the view of most mystics. It has strict economic laws: here you can get everything you need in life - from the simplest things, clothes, services, food to the luxury of rich mansions surrounded by impregnable walls - but you have to pay for your needs with the memory that you left in the world of the living. As long as you are remembered there, you are alive here. If your memory is erased, you become nothing. The novel Earthways is a multi-layered tale of magic leaving the world. Progress, the god-worker, patron of craftsmen and scientists, has pushed the usual gods in which people believed, and with them magic to the back of civilization. In a world that does not believe in magic, magic loses its power. In a world that doesn't believe in gods, gods cease to be gods. "The Well." The time of action is the seventeenth century. The place of action is half the world. Semyon, a simple peasant from near Tula, who went to try his luck on the Volga and was captured by nomadic steppes, was thrown wherever the evil fate threw him. The sands of Arabia, Persia, Mecca, Istanbul, Jerusalem, China, India... In his life he went through everything, took on himself all the sins, changed banners, clothes, faith and returned home with a soul burned by hatred for his abusers. But in nature there is a magic well that gives a man what no treasure can buy. It is the gift of mercy. And he who accepts this gift finds peace in his heart.....
