“Listen, Anne, I fell in love…”
“Is that so?”
“For the first time in my life and for the rest of my life. I've never been so happy. But… there is one obstacle between us—you see, she is from Perador.”
“Perador? From the province, perhaps?”
“Somewhat. Historical province. In short, I’m ready to fight the Dragon, stomp across the Star Bridge, which is colloquially called the Milky Way…”

“I came here from afar. Possibly from Zanzibar.”
“There is no sea there.”
“Oh, then that means from Genoa.”

This book has very little to do with the work of the great Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci; the title was chosen solely as an allegory, and to some extent to create a psychological motivation for self-development.
The basis of the book is the facts of my biography. Its limits the period of 5 years from the beginning of 2018, when my first book 19+ ends, and until the publication date of this book, the end of summer 2022.
A significant difference in my life path is the extreme degree of non-manifestation of my personality in my contemporary everyday world, which is compensated, I hope, by its work on other planes.
On a daily basis, I rather deal with the systematization of thoughts and sensory experiences of the everyday reality that opens up to me, and to a minimal extent for changing it under my own influence.
The book should be considered with skepticism, as a work of fiction filled with fantasy and illusions.
The main tool for analyzing my biography at the moment is to take the temporary center at September 10, 2017 and the divergence of the influence of events from this moment into the past and future. Naturally, this analysis is fantasy, fictitious, creative.
It is also important that some events turned out to be extended in their manifestation over years or even decades, and in order to understand them we have to return to some events in the past, which requires very specific comprehensive thinking.
The foundation for the book and my current worldview is the mystical idea of fantasy Attributes, i.e. about the creative manifestations of certain personality traits of a particular person, which are presumably given to him from birth or from conceiving, but which are revealed at the right moment of his maturation and only under certain catalyzing external circumstances. The presence of external circumstances is a key factor. The attributes are interesting because they lead me to my supposed “legacy”, which is extremely intriguing.
The main theme of my thoughts in this book is the problem of subjective perception of the passing of time.
Restrictions. The book is NOT intended for reading by believers, because it can cause them mental wounds and suffering. All my rare thoughts on the topic of any religion are only a fantasy of my imagination and, according to my subjective perception, have little relation to reality. But in any case, I apologize if I hurt anyone's religious feelings, this was in no means my intention.
The book is neither a mystical work nor a conspiracy theory, and it will disappoint fans of these genres. This is still a “biography with elements of fiction”, just like my first book. And if you haven’t read my first book, then think about whether you need to read this one? I believe it is much less interesting than the first part of my lifestory events.
