About This Novel
Another mysterious masterpiece by Pavich, the author of "Khazar Dictionary" and "The Romance of the Fish-scale Hat". It is a masterpiece for imagination lovers and a literary giant that reinterprets Greek mythology. A tragedy of pure love. In a parallel universe, the couple with the same name as the Greek mythological characters suffered a more tragic fate than Hero and Leandre. The story comes from ancient Greek mythology: Hero is the priestess of Aphrodite. Leander swam across the Dardanelles every night to meet her. Hero used a torch to guide Leander every night. On a stormy night, the torch was blown out by the storm. Leander was lost and drowned. Hero was so sad that he jumped into the sea. This fantasy lyrical novel has a special funnel-shaped structure, consisting of two legendary stories. The first half of the book, following the convention of ordinary books, tells the story of Hailuo. Turn over the book and start from the beginning, that is the story of Leander. The stories of these two people are connected together by fragments of Greek mythology. Leander of Pavich was born in the 17th century and was a trader between Belgrade and Constantinople. He was inspired to become a monk, and later he built a magical castle at the Sava Gate in Belgrade and gained great fame. The landscape gradually became desolate as Austrian and Turkish armies looted and burned, and Leander was killed in a bloody battle. The story of Hero took place between 1920 and 1930. It tells the story of a Serbian chemistry student who was eventually killed by her jealous lover. Like Leander, Hero had a premonition of his own death.
