Product: Leonardo’s Handwriting
Description: Leonardo’s Handwriting is a romantic morality tale, with an unconventional woman at its heart. Nature has given the heroine, Anna, the gift of clairvoyance, and it is this that determines her singular fate. The characteristic “left-handed mirror handwriting”, which in psychology came to be known as “Leonardo’s handwriting” (since that’s how the Renaissance genius wrote his notes), simply adds to the “weirdness” both of Anna’s personality and the twists and turns of the novel. Is the divine gift of prophecy a blessing or a curse? And how is it possible to withstand the burden of such an astonishing gift?

This is also a novel about love: a strong, noble, tragic love, love, in short, that “is stretched to breaking point”. Here, as well as the classic love triangle, there is another character whose bizarre, platonic yearning for Anna resembles a call from the “mirror universe” that has entranced and attracted her since childhood. The reader must put together the pieces of this “mirror” puzzle of personalities and events in a storyline that falls into place and “comes into focus” like an image in a misted mirror—bit by bit. The events of the book become fully clear only in the very last paragraph.

Product: Windows / Okna (Russian Language Edtion)
Description: Windows is the conceptual collection in a rather strict sense of the word. Nine stories by the famous Russian Israeli author about windows, looking to or from life, are accompanied by paintings by Boris Karafyolov also depicting windows, people in windows, people looking through windows, or turning from them. The book is stunningly beautiful as an art object or a living being. In it, there are marvels, as usual. The author and the painter open different windows for the readers, the ones into their own childhoods, into the lives of passers-by, friends, and relatives. Some of those windows are made of stained glass, and they are installed in temples. Some of those windows are in Venice, and some are in Jerusalem.

Product: Babiy veter
Description: V tsentre povestvovanija etoj, podchas shokirujuschej, rezkoj i bolevoj knigi â€“ Zhenschina. Geroinja, v junosti â€“ parashjutistka i pilot vozdushnogo shara, perezhiv lichnuju tragediju, vynuzhdena zanjatsja sovsem inym delom v drugoj strane, mozhno skazat, v zazerkale: ona kosmetolog, zhivet i rabotaet v Nju-Jorke. Tselaja verenitsa strannykh personazhej prokhodit pered ee glazami, ibo, po rodu svoej nyneshnej professii, geroinja stalkivaetsja s fantasticheskimi, na segodnjashnij den pochti obydennymi "gendernymi perevertyshami", s obeskurazhivajuschimi, a to i ottalkivajuschimi kartinkami zhizni obschestva. I, kak ni stranno, iz etoj girljandy, po vyrazheniju geroini, "kalek" vyrastaet groteskovyj, tragicheskij, nichtozhnyj i vysokij obraz sovremennoj ljubvi. "Eta povest, v kotoroj net ni odnogo maternogo slova, dolzhna by vyjti pod grifom 18+, a luchshe 40+â€¦ â€“ ibo vse v nej nastolko obnazheno i bezzaschitno, tsinichno i pronzitelno intimno, chto vo mnogikh stsenakh kraska styda zalivaet litso i pleschetsja v serdtse, â€“ rasterjannoe chelovecheskoe serdtse, vo vse vremena otvazhno i uprjamo mechtajuschee tolko ob odnom: o ljubviâ€¦".
