"Moscow, Adonai!" — a social novel is a metaphor about the inhabitants of the capital, for whom life in the metropolis becomes a vicious circle. In Artemy Leontiev's everyday Moscow is juxtaposed with mythological reality, and the familiar Moscow central ring turns into an image of endless movement with no exit. Here, people of different professions and affluence experience the pressure of a single urban environment. There is a metaphysical trap behind the recognizable streets, work, and entertainment. A married couple cannot conceive a child, and other residents of the capital are looking for recognition, prosperity and the opportunity to do what they love. Personal desires collide with exhausting daily life. Nightlife with its behind-the-scenes secrets does not bring liberation from daytime worries: entertainment and routine equally subjugate the townspeople. The action covers the period from the 1990s to 2020. Throughout these decades, the characters have been trying to arrange their own lives amid other people's demands, family difficulties, and social contradictions. The main characters are a young artist who is obsessed with painting. Art occupies a central place in his life. The theater director is a famous stage director who is going through a midlife crisis and is having a hard time building a relationship with his spoiled daughter. A provincial girl comes to the capital with her life's demands and strives to satisfy them. Sisyphus is the hero of the plug—in play, who moves around the Moscow Central Ring around the clock. The place in the cycle is the second part of the conceptual trilogy "Heaven and Hell", related to the images of Dante's "Divine Comedy". "Warsaw, Elohim!" refers to paradise, "Moscow, Adonai!" refers to hell, and "Light in darkness" refers to purgatory. The works are united by a common idea, but they are not plot-wise related to each other. The order of reading: "Warsaw, Elohim!", "Moscow, Adonai!", "Light in darkness". Why the book will be interesting The book is suitable for readers of social and philosophical prose who are interested in alienation in a big city, self-realization through art and the complexities of family relationships. The unusual form is also important: Leontiev combines a novel with drama and an insert play, specific urban observations with mythological images and irony. In depicting the city as a significant force, the narrative continues the tradition of Andrei Bely's "Petersburg" and Alfred Deblin's "Berlin, Alexanderplatz." The focus is not only on the personal decisions of the characters, but also on the dependence of a person on the environment in which he lives.
