A wandering knight-technician Sapozhnikov, before the astonished reader, invents a perpetual motion machine, proves Fermat’s theorem, finds Atlantis—and all of this in search of Tenderness… The most piercing book by Mikhail Ancharov, an artist, poet, and the “father” of bard song. Vysotsky considered him his teacher.
A record text, packed with deep thoughts and aphorisms. A bestseller among students of the early eighties. Ancharov is the last romantic—communalist.
