About the book: 2013 / The unreasonable Lights, the destructive forces of the universe, regarding creation as evil, win in the dual nature of the Kabbalistic messiah Sabbatai Zevi and realize it another incarnation in human form, which should lead not only to the death of humanity, but also to the end of the existence of the entire Universe. A modest and ironic researcher at a certain Institute of Transpersonal Psychology finds himself drawn into this struggle between powerful supermundane forces. The backdrop for the almost detective action, during which the heroes of the novel try to understand the essence of mysterious events and intellectually “figure out” the messenger of otherworldly forces, is the realities of everyday life of scientific institutions and their employees, brought out by the author with sparkling humor and knowledge of details. And how could it be otherwise if the author of this book, published for the first time, is the outstanding St. Petersburg orientalist and religious scholar Evgeniy Alekseevich Torchinov (1956–2003). The book is addressed to all lovers of good intellectual reading.
