The Razor's Edge

The adventure novel “The Razor’s Edge” (Лезвие бритвы) raises questions about studying a person’s possibilities, reserves of the psyche, and the use of knowledge gained through millennia of practice in various sciences—particularly hatha yoga. In this novel, adventure and fantasy intertwine: ancient India and modern Italy; the power of paranormal abilities and the search for the legendary crown of Alexander the Great… A dynamic plot, and above all an incredible density of scientific material—facts, theoretical propositions, hypotheses, and precise data—characterize this novel.

This is a novel about the spiritual might of a person, about the triumph of reason, about the search for beauty, love, and justice. “Feelings of beauty are embedded in the depths of our being,” the author claims—and leads the reader “along the razor’s edge” to an understanding of beauty in those around us, within ourselves, and in the universe.
