About the book: 1997 / Babylon is a strange place, on the square of which you can meet a dirty lice-infested prophet and a slave who contains part of the soul of a legendary hero of antiquity, a place , where suspicious individuals accurately predict the future using a part of the body that is not recommended to be mentioned out loud in front of ladies, and where, with the help of simple hypnosis, you can find out for sure who you were in a previous life. In the mischievous phantasmagoria of Elena Khaetskaya, ancient heroes live side by side with our contemporaries . Irony, absurdity and grotesque are the three pillars that support the world of Babylon on their backs, where events begin to take place that at first glance are quite ordinary.
