A Moment of Timelessness

Perhaps in every family there is at least one mysterious ancient legend. And if there isn’t, people make one up. Besides, it’s probably true that all legends are invented—after all, you can never know for sure what happened long ago… The book’s characters, setting out for the ruins of an old nobleman’s estate, are sincerely convinced that their ancestors lived there, and they even hope to find some valuable trinket there. Such a discovery really does happen. And with it come unexpected encounters—not only with unusual people, but even with mystical and enigmatic phenomena. After all, in life you can come across a great deal that’s inexplicable if you really want to, if you know where to look—and if you have time for such adventures.
