| Synopsis: |
The Trilogy "The mystical Labyrinth in Russia" was inspired by the ideas of European alchemy and The Fourth Way of G. I. Gurdjieff. The action takes place in the Soviet Union of the 1980s, where oppressive materialistic ideology is still in full power, supported by a developed system of shadowing peoples way of thinking. Interest in mysticism or esoteric tradition is considered a crime and is severely punished by the authorities. A Master Alchemist, known only as G, creates in Moscow a secret alchemical School, where men can grow spiritually and to find God. It is not so simple to learn in his School, as G does not give clear instructions to his disciples, who tend to use his insights to satisfy their egoistic inclinations. They reject his subtle hints which constantly points at the spiritual Path leading above, to the Absolute. During one of his journeys G finds two young men who have a true thirst for spiritual knowledge. They recognise G as their spiritual Master and announce that they want to follow him.G gives to his two new disciples a task; to become acquainted with the 'old Guards' of his School in Moscow and St Petersburg and to learn from them their, well concealed, spiritual knowledge. Konstantin Serebrov had intertwined the knowledge of the alchemical tradition and of the Fourth Way into the dialogues of the characters of this Trilogy, who embody the interaction of different alchemical principles and substances. The book is richly illustrated by the engravings of alchemical treatises of 16th-17th centuries. |
