It all started with an unremarkable painting—and who could have guessed that it would bring Maksim to India? Alexander Berg’s canvas, “The Mansion on Prechistenka,” became a door for the 19-year-old hero into a world of endless riddles and ciphers—a world built by his father, who disappeared seven years ago. The young man has many questions for his father, but how can he finally ask them if every next step brings him no closer to the long-awaited meeting?

Here, in a remote Indian backwater, the hero must figure out a new clue: Tommaso Campanella’s book “City of the Sun.” Somehow, the hints from his father lead straight to a worn copy of this old utopia. Dima and Anya—the hero’s friends who set off after him—will help Maksim make sense of it. But will they? It seems that, on this long journey, you can’t trust anyone at all…

The second part of the adventure series “City of the Sun” combines elements of a detective story, a family saga, and a thriller. Evgeny Rudashevsky develops the story of journalist student Maksim in the most unpredictable way, including everything he himself is great at: historical and ethnographic context, puzzles and cryptograms, the subtlest nuances of human psychology.

The tetralogy “City of the Sun” is an adventurous detective epic with a double bottom, whose main characters for the first time truly face the world of adults in all its sometimes unpleasant, and sometimes astonishing, variety.
