The Father of “Shatuny”

This book is a narrative non-fiction account of the life of Yuri Mamleev — one of the most unconventional Russian writers and philosophers of the 20th century. The author not only depicts Mamleev’s earthly journey, but also attempts to peer beyond the veil of eternity, paying attention to his views, mystical experiences, and spiritual quests. Readers are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in a unique atmosphere created by the author, where reality and fiction are closely intertwined.
