This novel is a family saga, the story of brothers separated by the Civil War. In the private destinies of the characters, the key moments of the story are refracted. Following the Old Testament metaphor of fratricide, the author tries to understand the nature of evil, awareness of what he has done, atonement for real and imaginary guilt, offering the reader his understanding of the regularity and randomness of crime and punishment. The narrative covers the period from the beginning of the First World War, the 'plane crash' of the XX century, to its tragic finale - the collapse of the New York Twin towers. What begins as a family drama in the scenery of traditional Jewish life, the terrorist underground, revolution and civil war, evolves into an adventurous adventure novel, and then into a political thriller, masterfully twisted around the most intriguing events of the XX century. But with all the twists of the plot, the main character of the book remains the story. Playing with styles, meanings and facts is an important characteristic of the author's writing style.
