magician in law
This book is written at the intersection of alternative history and utopia-dystopia. This is a parable about the Great Power and the Little People, about how the blind lead the blind, and about the fact that there is nothing new - neither under the sun nor under the moon. But magic and the Russian Empire at the beginning of the century? Gendarmes of a special corps, whose official "profile" is ethereal influences?! Convict sorcerers?! Russia appears before us as unusual as it is natural. The novel combines the advantages of the traditions of Russian literature of the 19th century and the world adventure novel. The text is permeated through with poetry, masterfully stylized as the Silver Age, and raises extraordinary questions that the reader is invited to answer. The authors succeeded not only in isolating one of the root problems of human existence - the connection between "teacher and student", "talent and craft" - but also dissecting it with all the depth of psychological and philosophical analysis.
