In the midst of the Crimean War, two groups of writers clash: on one side Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, and Chekhov, and on the other — Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, and Ann Radcliffe strive to tip the scales in favor of their homeland with their texts. In this light novel — a type of Japanese manga — Yulia Yakovleva creates a phantasmagoric world where literature is directly connected to historical reality, capable of changing and rewriting it. The dynamic plot revolves around a serious question: can authors control their own works and how responsible are they for the future fate of their creations? Yulia Yakovleva is a writer, art critic, and theater producer, author of books on ballet history ("Creators and Viewers," "Ballet Alphabet"), published by NLO publishing house.
