"Weaved Down with Evil, or Forty Years Later". The history of Ahasuerus the Damned... The history of the "perestroika utopia" of the near future... The history of John the Theologian, Christ and Judas... All the same, together - one of the best examples of the late work of the Strugatsky brothers! The novel is accompanied by comments by B. Strugatsky, which tells the story of the creation of "Burdened with Evil".
A catastrophe novel, a tornado, in the motionless center of which the Demiurge and Ahasuerus weave the threads of the destinies of the world.
Three layers of the plot: one is “the gospel of the astrophysicist”, the second is the “gospel of the student”, the third is the “gospel of Ahasuerus”.
The conflict between the established society of the future and the parasitic commune of "flower children".
One of the sharpest and at the same time philosophical novels by the Strugatsky brothers, raising the eternal questions of responsibility, rights and duties of a person, the role of the Teacher in the life of each of us.
