The Sorcerers

The main character of the book is a St. Petersburg scholar—an ethnographer and specialist in ancient ceramics—torn between science and the antiquities business. He encounters a chain of inexplicable events in which, in a strange way, reality and a dream intertwine, the past and the present mingle, a remote Russian village and various cities of the world overlap. How can one unravel the mysterious riddle and find the only correct way out of the circumstances that have arisen? How to open the door to oneself—to one’s true, authentic self? This is a novel about a generation now over forty, and about anyone who always, invariably, seeks himself today and always. For a wide range of readers.
