Strange Life of Ivan Osokin
Кинемодрама (Странная жизнь Ивана Осокина)
A novel on the idea of eternal recurrence: a magician lets Ivan Osokin relive twelve years of his life knowing what will happen, and the young man repeats exactly the same mistakes. It is the narrative illustration of the thesis that man cannot 'do' without a change of being.
