Terrible idol, or builders of hell on Earth. Elsner A.O.

Anatoly Elsner is one of the most amazing writers of the Silver Age. For him there were no complicated and forbidden topics. In the division novel “The Terrible Idol”, an outstanding writer for the first time in the history of Russian literature spoke about the danger of totalitarian sects. The history of the settlement Green Paradise, which began as a search for light, turns into blood and suffering: the leader of the community revels in ecstatic practices, tormentors and psychopaths come to power, and soon every adult will have to make a terrible choice.
