Once upon a time there lived a boy named Dimon - a redheaded 11th-grader, "Dimka" to his friends. He suffered from unrequited love for the school"s reigning beauty, Marinka. Then Marinka got into a car accident and ended up in a coma. That coma ended in the Terminal, to which Dimon then set out, hoping to save his beloved. Some literary critics call this book a work of "Orthodox Fantasy", while certain Athonite monks consider it the best fictional representation of the teaching of the toll houses.Back cover pageFather Alexander, tell us, does "true love" every exist in real life the way it does in books?Absolutely! Love is, was, and shall be; for the ability to love is a property of God, Who created man in His image and imbued him with this ability at his creation. While man exists, Love will exist. When the ability to love dries up in people, mankind will cease to exist, since Love is that vivifying power that gives Life to people and meaning to their earthly lives.Father Alexander, where can one find this true Love?With God.
