Казак в Раю

Казак #1

by Андрей Белянин, Илья Воронин (Illustrator)

Bogi tozhe lyubyat poigrat'... Itak, na dosku Sud'by stavyatsya dve figury. Ivan - potomstvennyj filolog, a nyne sovremennyj kazak, s kuchej kompleksov, goryachim serdtsem i vernoj shashkoj. Rakhil' - yunaya evrejka, voennosluzhaschaya gosudarstva Izrail', s nepodrazhaemym zhargonom i vechnym poiskom zlobnykh antisemitov. I vot eti dve polnye, fatal'nye, neprimirimye, dazhe krajne radikal'nye protivopolozhnosti posle zagadochno skoropostizhnoj smerti popadayut v Raj. Chistoe nebo, laskovoe solnyshko, sinee more, mir i blagodat'... No! Razve u kazakov i evreev mozhet byt' odin Raj?! Da esche takoj, gde indusy praktikuyut chelovecheskie zhertvoprinosheniya, gde s avtomatami cherez plecho begayut adepty Belogo Bratstva, gde korabli inoplanetnykh besov pokhischayut lyudej, a sama ''rajskaya'' zhizn' na kazhdom shagu podvergaet vas bezzhalostnym ispytaniyam.

Dazhe esli protiv vas vse - religiya, vera, natsional'nye predrassudki i sploshnye vragi! Ibo igry bogov nikogda ne zakanchivayutsya, oni lish' perekhodyat na inoj uroven'...

About the author

Andrei Belyanin (Андрей Белянин) is a modern Russian science fiction and fantasy writer, who wrote at least 15 novels with many of then selling over 2 million copies. He is especially known for humour and parody in his fiction. Belyanin's novels are mostly ironcal chrono-operas, where the pun is based on anachronisms.

Belyanin is married. He had a son, Ivan, who was kidnapped in 2004 for sake of ransom. Although the kidnappers were arrested a few days after, Ivan Belyanin was found dead, as they killed him at the day of the kidnapping. The criminals, brothers Kirill and Ivan Kostylev, both were sentenced to prison.
