Circle, Loop, Spiral

Three stories, three destinies, three geometric trajectories. Archaeologist Lyusha, enchanted by Heinrich Schliemann's luck, persistently searches for treasure. For the kind and meek Tasia, her own home has turned into a prison — and there is nowhere to hide from the terrible truth about the past.

Fedor, a skilled artisan and plastic makeup artist, decides on a risky transformation.

Kudarskoye Gorge, botanical garden, a strange world of props. Anna Basner takes the reader behind the scenes of wonders, wounds and comforts. The heroes are forced to choose. Enlightenment or blindness? Selfishness or self-sacrifice? Love sometimes takes amazing forms. This book is about them.
