How could an ancient Venetian secret, after many centuries, destroy a KGB resident in London? What connected Stalin and Napoleon? How did Casanova’s famous lover escape from prison? In what way are the people and events listed above connected?
Answers to these and many other questions can be found in a novel whose action unfolds in different centuries, cities, and countries. The work is based on real historical, political, cultural, and scientific facts.
Notably, alongside Moscow, London, Venice, Vilnius, and Constantinople, part of the action takes place in Nizhny Novgorod. It is there that, in Soviet times, even back then in the city of Gorky, the academician Sakharov was in exile—who also became one of the heroes of “Amalgama.”
— “Amalgama” is not just the title of the book. It’s a kind of explosive blend—a fusion of different literary directions. Some see in this book a love story, others—adventures, third—historical detective fiction, fourth—mysticism, fifth—enthralling historical parallels,” says Vladimir Torin. “I hope that each person will find in this book what they would like to find. I tried to make it exciting and interesting.”
