The Handwriting of Leonardo

"…He assured that she is an angel. Funny, isn't it? Not in the sense of an angel from heaven, but rather that her nature is akin to certain beings that are perceived in popular consciousness as angels-archangels and such… and other celestial kin. That people believe in them because from time to time such beings indeed appear on earth among humans…" She writes in a mirrored handwriting that makes the uninitiated dizzy. She has brilliant abilities in mathematics and physics, she is a genius acrobat, an incredible stunt performer, she knows everything there is to know about mirrors. She can see the past and foresee the future. Kyiv, Moscow, Frankfurt, Indianapolis, Montreal — she flies through life, restless and unfree, seeing more than an ordinary person can imagine, — and hates herself for it and the one who bestowed her with such a gift. Dina Rubina's mystical novel "The Handwriting of Leonardo" is the story of a person who did not want to be a demiurge. The story of a woman who with magnificent disdain rejects the gift of heaven.
