Vasily Golovanov, author of paradoxical literary studies such as "Nestor Makhno," "To the Ruins of Chevengur," and "The Island, or Justification of Pointless Journeys," invites readers this time to explore the Caspian Sea. A journey around the Caspian Sea is not only an immersion in the exotic landscapes of Absheron, mountainous Dagestan, Iranian Turkmenistan, and the canyons of Ust-Yurt. The author doesn't limit himself to the confines of travel writing and consciously addresses the pressing issues of the time. Migrants, oil, terrorism, and big politics... But the author's primary concern is the problem of understanding. "Our unity lies in our differences," he declares, returning from yet another "journey with an open heart." Poetry, the tender memory of the Azerbaijani village of Gala, conversations with pilgrims and Dagestani fundamentalists, the present of Iran, sincerity, friendship, and love—this is the material from which Vasily Golovanov constructs a shared "universe of meanings." His invisible, constant companions in the book are Nietzsche and Khlebnikov, Rumi and Sri Aurobindo, Stanislav Grof and Vasily Nalimov.
