Yuri Knorozov, a brilliant Russian scientist, is known all over the world by decoating the writing of the Mayan Indians. And fate - full of surprises, incredible coincidences and even hoaxes - only confirms the unusualness of this amazing person. In the book of Galina Ershova, the scientist’s biography of the scientist, written on the basis of archives and memoirs, is more like a fascinating detective, where the villains, cunning intriguers, and unexpected saviors appear. And there is another difficult hero - Russia and its rich history of the twentieth century. The canvas of the narrative is woven from bright spaces - the mighty Russian north and original southern outskirts, university military Moscow and scientific post -war Leningrad, Shaman Central Asia and Kuril Islands, mysterious Guatemala and Ancient Mexico, and even the few famous nooks of the United States.
The whole life of the scientist proves that nobility and meanness, courage and cowardice are those human qualities that do not depend on either the era or on the system. Knorozov never hid behind stamps, although he called himself ironically “a child of the Stalin"s Time”
