For those who are interested in the work of Andrei Bely (1880-1934), this is primarily an outstanding poet-symbolist and author of the great novel "Petersburg". Those who are also interested in the origins of his spiritual biography and sophisticated literary skill should read two of his autobiographical novels, "experience of mental paleontology" - "Kotik Letaev" (a story about the first three years of the life of a brilliant child) and a “baptized Chinese ". Both novels are written in complex rhythmic prose, which, in the understanding of the author, serves as a bridge between prose and poetry. The plot construction of novels is no simpler than their language. "Architectonics here are such that pictures, composed of garlands of phrases, write a circle under an invisible dome growing from zigzags." If, after such an explanation, someone has a question, and there is also China, here is a spoiler. China, in the understanding of Andrei Bely, the place of fruitful unity of the East and West, the center of world wisdom. And the father is both the creator of the world and the keeper of sacred truths
