Название русского оригинала: "Странная жизнь Ивана Осокина". 1915. Единственный фантастический роман мистика-философа Петра Демьяновича Успенского (1878-1947).
If you had a chance to live your life again, what would you do with it? P.D. Ouspensky’s only novel, set in Moscow, on a country estate, and in Paris, tells what happened to Ivan Osokin when he was sent back twelve years to his stormy schooldays, early manhood, and early loves.
The story realizes ‘eteal recurrence’, a theory of time developed in Ouspensky’s well-known book "A New Model o f the Universe".
‘A brilliant fantasy, treated in most respects realistically and written to illustrate the theme that we do not live life but that life lives us.
. . the feeling for the suspense of the present moment, which hangs like a drop of rain upon the window, containing a whole world in itself.’
