This is a sort of Cine-poem based on a roman I've just published as Kindle e-Book.
It's a biographic and at the same time historical roman, depicting so-called "Abramtsevo circle". The center of the roman is the tragic life of M.A.Vrubel after Kiev period.
I don't know if I was right to have written it in Japanese, but I think such a delicate material can't be written in other languages than author's mother tongue.
In fact it deals with a problem of cultural degradation in the technology-centered globalized society without spiritual values. In such a society a young old-fashioned artist, of course, can't live. Namely it deals with our reality.
The heroine Lisa is a science journalist with cool atmosphere, but she has something spiritual in her, the sense of the harmony ruling the Universe.
There are also comical group portraits of people living in near-future Japan, partly becauuse that the scenario for a feature film which was the bases of the novel, was written in 2003 when the economic recession was not so seriously felt and we had no fear for radiation, as today.
This time I revised only a few details of it. The main plot of this story had always been mythological, so it's not the author's caprice to include Max Klinger's works whose name is mentioned by young graphic artist Ryu Tujimura.
The kindle version is in Japanese, as "Demon defeated" about M.Vrubel.
