The 1830s. Palestine. Russian military cartographers are sent on a secret mission to the Holy Land, but for the heroes this is not just a diplomatic mission - Fate itself brought them to Jerusalem, and each has his own test in store. Maxim Nikiforovich Bykov is delirious with the desire to make an uranotype of Jerusalem - a prototype of photography that had not yet been invented. Pole Witold Witkowski is overcome with memories of a young gypsy girl whose freedom he once bought at a slave market for a high price. A runaway monk moves from the darkness of a cave into the light and meets his death. French and English spies are trying to find out what kind of mysterious object Russian travelers carry with them everywhere. The new long-awaited book by Vladimir Berezin is written in the best traditions of the postmodern historical novel, in the spirit of Umberto Eco and Vladimir Sharov. This is a disturbing and fascinating multi-layered prose, which will include an adventurous plot, a symbolic understanding of Russian history, and numerous references to Russian literature. Inside "Uranotype" bizarre mirror labyrinths are formed: the characters see each other in dreams, and eras and spaces are doubled, inviting the reader to step into the looking glass.
