“The Angel” is the story of a strange man with homemade wings. In every era, the main human dream has been the dream of complete freedom, flight of the body and soul over the world of everyday life.
The book tells about wonderful possibilities, about the power of faith and love. It’s a kind, cheerful story about human souls, about feelings, and about the prejudices that rule society. A fairy-tale narrative that is at the same time real will carry the reader deep into a fantastic world in which we live—but which we hardly notice through the veil of entrenched “reality.”
The audiobook “The Angel” was recorded in December 2018, for the 10th anniversary of the poem (2008–2009). The audio version of the book is made as a theatrical production in the author’s performance. Voice, guitar, accordion, flute—performance and recording: Arthur Arapov.
