The proposed book is both a literary, religious, philosophical and art history narrative about the main stages of the history of culture - European and Russian. The author focuses on the first and last man, defiantly proud and humble, winner and defeated, flying and falling. Classical in the face of God, modern in the face of oneself, postmodern in the face of the failure of nothingness ("the end of history") - this is the main theme and idea of ​ ​ the book. Unbelieving people, as you know, do not exist. Some believe that there is God. Others believe He is not. Neither is provable. It all depends on the person's personal choice and culture. Suum cuique.
