About Your Book

Some memories fade with time. Others are forbidden to return.

Wish of Wishes. Forbidden Memories is a literary mystery, a love story, and an exploration of the deepest desires of the human soul.

Set in the present day, the novel follows a young woman drawn into the mystery of a disappearance. As she searches for answers, fragments of memory from different times and places begin to surface. Gradually, they form a mosaic of love, family secrets, unexpected connections, and echoes of past lives. The mysteries of youth and the bonds between kindred souls are also woven into the unfolding story.

The ancient Russian legend of Peter and Fevronia of Murom runs through the narrative as a living motif of love, fidelity, and the possibility of reunion.

Yet beneath the unfolding mystery lies another investigation — not of a crime, but of desire. What is the innermost wish that quietly shapes a person's life, even when it remains hidden from their own awareness? And how, then, can it be discovered and fulfilled?

Personal experience and artistic invention are interwoven throughout the narrative. The boundaries between them are deliberately left undefined. The fictional form makes it possible to preserve what must remain personal without compromising the integrity of the story.

Although written as fiction, the book belongs in its conception to the classical tradition of the teaching novel. Understanding emerges through the experiences of the characters, through discovery and inner recognition, rather than direct instruction.

The spiritual knowledge and practical approaches presented in the novel draw upon humanity's spiritual heritage and various traditions of self-discovery, including Kabbalah, as well as the author's personal experience. These approaches have been studied, reworked, tested in practice, and refined by the author. They are not inventions created merely for the plot, and they have nothing to do with magic.

A concluding section brings together the principles woven into the story, offering readers an opportunity to explore their own innermost wishes and consider how these insights might be applied in their lives to help fulfill them.

The world of Wish of Wishes extends beyond the written word. Richly illustrated in color, the novel brings its characters, places, and events to life through visual art. Original music inspired by the story adds another dimension to this creative universe, inviting readers to experience its atmosphere, emotions, and mysteries not only through words, but also through images and sound.

The book asks for neither blind faith nor unquestioning acceptance. It invites readers to observe, reflect, and draw their own conclusions.

Wish of Wishes invites you not only to discover your innermost wish and explore the path toward its fulfillment, but also to see yourself and the world around you in a new light. For sometimes, the most profound changes in our lives begin with changes within ourselves.
