About the book: 2003 / The Great Empire of the God Om. Burning fires, the Inquisition, wars in the Name of Om and in His Name. But... no one asked Om himself how he felt about bonfires. And even more so for wars. And also to the fact that when he was about to be incarnated again, the entire faith of his people - faith in Om, and not in the Inquisition, prophets or holy books - was only enough for a small, harmless turtle. And Om decided, waving his paws and trying to roll over next to the boiling cauldron: “If only I get out of here... your first commandment will be - May you not taste turtle soup!”-------------- -------------------This story happened a long time ago, when burning bushes were still wandering through the desert and talking with random passers-by (a person who has the habit of walking in the desert, not a bit he wouldn’t be surprised if a lizard, a cobblestone, and even more so a bush suddenly spoke to him). It was then that the Church of the Great God Om was waiting for the coming of the next prophet, who was about to appear, since prophets are very obligatory people and strictly follow the established schedule. It was then that a young novice named Brutha discovered a small turtle in the garden, which turned out to be the Great God Om... In general, this story is about turtles and eagles, and also about why turtles cannot fly.
