Orwell went further than just studying unemployment not wanting to watch from the outside, he learned what it is: to be a miner, live in slums, eat poorly and do backbreaking work in the mines. Everything he saw and wrote down helped him to clarify his feelings towards socialism. In this book, he explains why socialism, the only possible escape from the shocking conditions of life that he saw, turns off so many normal, respectable citizens.

The book is about history, but not the one that is written in dry letters in the textbook, but the one into which the time machine takes you and lets you live the days, months in the body of another person, a contemporary of the time you are reading about. It is about religion, but not about what they preach in churches, without the right to question, but about its origins, causes, development, problems, transformation over time, our perception of it in the modern world, as well as about coexistence, disagreements and struggle religions with each other. Three archaeologists, three friends American Cullinan, Arab Tabari and Israeli Eliav decided to conquer the world by large-scale excavations.
