The heroes of the book by St. Petersburg cultural scientist V. Degtyarev are the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, English artist Edward Burne-Jones, architect Augustus Welby Pugin, and the well-known Lewis Carroll. Its overarching themes are the past and mechanisms. The author attempts to uncover the connection between culturally accepted concepts of time and perceptions of the boundaries between natural and artificial (natural and man-made, organic and mechanical, etc.). In this study, history appears as a fascinating puzzle, revealing hidden connections of cultural events.
