About the book: 2005 / The demon is always next to a person: it tempts, seduces, captivates. That's how the world works. And the demon Adolf helps - he was born to be philanthropic on his own head. On a business trip on a call from Stepan Fedorovich’s client, this quality makes the demon indispensable to those around him. He belongs among his own: in the thirteenth century, in the twentieth, in the twenty-first... in the Battle of Lake Peipus, in Berlin at the end of World War II, in the Fire Mountains of the Scandinavian epic, in the stalls of a drama theater at a rehearsal, in a one-room apartment in a five-story building. Adolf is passionate, cheerful, resourceful, and grasps the situation on the fly. Adolf saves, helps out, leads the client not into the darkness of doubt and misunderstanding, but to light and joy - through simple decisions and active actions. A very outstanding demon, not like a demon. That's why it's interesting.
