The book "Nagaina, or Altered Time" by Lyudmila Petrushevskaya is filled with mystical plots and phenomena, where the soul touches the eternal world that existed before us and suddenly emerges.

Once, it happened that L. S. Petrushevskaya, the only Russian-speaking author, received the "World Fantasy Award" — a worldwide award in the field of fantasy. However, none of our fantasy writers found this author on their list of "their own." It seems we must acknowledge that we have an entirely different realm of fantasy — the book you are holding in your hands.
