About the book: 1989 / The book includes the lyrical-dramatic story “Notes of a Sick” and two tragicomic novels from the series “Where the Lark Can’t Fly.” All three new stories continue the theme of the first, previously published part of the “Illusions” series and, being independent, at the same time give rise to the next book in the series. Published works are focused on the problems and destinies of the intelligentsia, the origins of the reasons for their current position in society, and the role of the intellectual principle in the modern world.
