Beginning in the mid-18th century in Russia, across Europe and ending in late 20th-century Argentina, the characters' lives play out in different branches of art, politics and science in such radical ways that they transform the world and its reality. The narrator's ancestor, Frantisek Deliuskin, invents a new form of music in the 18th century; his son, Andrei Deliuskin, makes some marginal annotations to the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola that are later interpreted by Lenin as an instruction manual to carry out the Russian Revolution of 1917; Esau Deliuskin, following the course of his father, creates a socialist utopian society; and down through the generations to the narrator, whose creation takes him back in time and space to the moment of the Big Bang"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Generations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mental illness $x Genetic aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gifted persons $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Sequeira, Jessica, $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025013258.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014929.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220712010315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFFFF80601A711EDB8EAEDD844ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
