What is this story about? and who is this guy?
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Actions unfold at the beginning of the 21st century. The protagonist is a student at the Faculty of History, graduating from undergraduate studies. He finds an old book, and in it on yellowed fields there are strange notes in Hebrew and Chinese.
From which he learns about a secret ... and then they search for a key to an encrypted riddle ... the lost cities of the Silk Road, on the maps of which caches and treasures with treasures are marked.
Treasures are not limited to gold and precious stones, but also manuscripts, paintings, ancient maps and roads.
The main character is called Dara. What is his character? He loves money, thrifty, but also spender, but buys things necessary for the economy, likes to bargain, but he does not really succeed. Sometimes it is placed on research and can not stop on time. According to the teement - sanguine.
The action takes place in two now sovereign states in Asia. In the 7th-9th centuries they were vassals of the Tang empire.
Subsequently, they were conquered by the Arabs, then the Mongols ... after they regained their independence for 6 centuries, then to become a colony of two empires again. The last of which was a potential adversary of the United States and NATO for a long 50 years ... They built one system - social equality, and then spat on it and the sacrifices made for it and began to build capitalism. But it turned out to be very bizarre, where private property was not respected at all, but this is a topic for another story.
What happens to the main hero?
-------------------------------------------------- --------
He is immersed in the key to the encrypted book, looking for keys to it to find hiding places and treasures. He is helped in this by his bro Fang friend from Sichuan.
In search of treasures, he meets different people, sometimes very unusual, and learns new things about the history of the Silk Road and the Great Game.
Why should it bother me?
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
It is interesting. It tells where and how people hid their treasures in cities and villages, in forests and mountains, fields and steppes, deserts. That sometimes old books or furniture may contain hiding places in which gold or silver is not necessary, there may simply be old letters or some notes. But it's interesting, what kind of person wrote it, why did he hide it? After all, these notes are already 120 and sometimes 140 years old.
Of course, this may not concern everyone, but only amateurs - history, fictitious realism, adventures, possibly partially magical fantasy about Tao.
Pros - good content, many different historical facts about the confrontation in the Cold War.
Cons - heroes are obtained without emotions, too much data, the story is less dynamic. More documentary than game characters. Difficult to read; phrases are not typically English. Grammatical errors.
Remarks - after receiving advice on correcting the novel from a respected editor - Nou, I decided to rewrite 6 chapters again, for the third time. I hope that they turn out a little better, the previous two times.
