About the book: year / The title in a sense speaks for itself. Mysticism and reality. "The Master" and "Margarita". And between them is love. And behind them are inexplicable forces eager to destroy this love... “In the lives of her heroes, Elena Sazanovich combines the incompatible: tears and joy, love and hatred, sin and holiness, angel and devil, and the haze of mystery gives her stories a tart, bitter taste. Solving these mysteries of life is truly fascinating,” Victoria Tokareva once wrote in the preface to a collection of prose by Elena Sazanovich. First published in 1997 in a magazine version in the literary magazine “Youth” (No. 6). Published in the author’s collection “The penultimate day of sadness” (1998, EKSMO Press publishing house, Moscow).
