Farewell to Hyperborea

The gods of ancient civilizations, demons, and angels still interfere in people’s lives. Otherwise, you sometimes can’t explain the full absurdity of what’s happening, all the dangers and horrors—wars, epidemics, and catastrophes. The gods simply run experiments on humanity, feeding on our emotions—more precisely, on a special substance that is produced in the air when we love or rage, suffer or protect our honor. Revealing the hidden springs and mechanisms of human life—against the backdrop of the sharpest modern events—is the unusual love story of two residents of a huge metropolis.

This is what Vladimir Torin’s novel “Farewell to Hyperborea” is about.
