World and Laughter

Yuri Mamleev is the founder and recognized master of the genre of metaphysical realism. This is literature of the end of the world, exploring black holes and abysses that open up in human souls. "Life is the mockery of heaven over the earth," said the writer himself.

In Mamleev's prose, mysticism is tightly woven with reality. The hero of the novel "World and Laughter" disappears without a trace, leaving behind only a reflection in the mirror. The friends who set out in search will encounter secret organizations, meet the resurrected dead and monster-like humans. The unknowable and the unrecognizable laugh at the world and humanity, the dream and the waking merge into one.
