French writer and philosopher Muriel Barberi became a star after the publication of her second novel "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" (2006) - only in France it sold more than two million copies, brought the author a dozen prestigious literary awards, was translated into more than forty languages, and since then every book by Barberi only confirms her status as queen a bestseller.Her new novel "The Hour of Revelation" and the previous one, "Only a Rose", add up to a three-dimensional picture, an open story, whose characters live their unconditionally interconnected lives, meeting neither in time nor in space. In the novel "Only a Rose", a forty-year-old woman came to Japan to find roots lost from birth and to understand an unknown deceased father, who remained behind the scenes throughout the novel; there was only a Rose in the frame. In the Hour of Revelation, she remains behind the scenes, and in the frame is the main character, Rose's father, collector and dealer of modern Japanese art Haru Ueno, whom an irresistible love for beauty in his youth endowed with an unmistakably accurate view of the beautiful and drove away from the hinterland to Kyoto. The Hour of Revelation is a poetic, heartfelt and profound story of Haru, his friends (artists by profession or in the depths of his soul), his love for his daughter - love at a distance, delicate and persistent - and his gradual inescapable self-discovery. In the scenery of Japan, where the author has lived for several years - a country incomprehensible and infinitely attractive - a quiet and poignant drama unfolds: in it beauty lurks in the smallest details, melancholy is inseparable from the joy of life, and death and birth are one and the same.For the first time in Russian!
