Одна из самых правдивых книг о Востоке: автор провел в тех краях больше 10 лет. Действие этого небольшого романа переносит на Ближний Восток по время операции "Буря в пустыне". В книге развиваются два параллельных сюжета: обычный приключенческий и другой - возникающий из вечной загадки взаимоотношений между мужчиной и женщиной. Работник одного из советских учреждений в Сирии вынужден в силу обстоятельств устроить себе ложную командировку как можно дальше от Дамаска. Судьбе угодно, чтобы в сирийской глубинке он получил в спутницы курдскую девушку, чьи предки сохранили одно из древнейших верований на Земле и поклоняются дьяволу, принимающему облик павлина, а затем они оба встречают американского летчика, сбитого во время налета на Ирак и упавшего на сирийской территории. Сюжет отчасти основан на реально происходивших событиях.

About the author
Dmitry Streshnev
3 books1 followerDmitry Valentinovich Streshnev (Russian:
Дмитрий Валентинович Стрешнев) is one of the most interesting specialists in the Middle East. He spent a significant part of his life in those places. He began to publish in the 1990s in literary magazines (Literary Study, We, Resurrection).
In 1998, in Damascus, the story "Yezidka" (in the Russian edition of "Devil") was published in Damascus about an unusual incident with a Soviet foreign worker during the Gulf War. Works in different genres: from retro detective ("Bulkin and Son") to humorous ("Professor, fix your glasses!", "Last fairy tales of the Soviet era") and children's prose ("Forest Spirit").
Dmitry Streshnev is distinguished by the ability to build unusual plots with a touch of mysticism or elements of a joke, without breaking away, at the same time, from the real foundations of our life. Although in his works, as a rule, something attractive and mysterious happens, this is just an excuse to talk about what kind of demons live in the human soul. Reading his works is always interesting and exciting, although they are written about serious things.
