Versiegelte Engel

versiegelte Engel

by Nikolai Leskov

In einer kalten Winternacht in einer überfüllten russischen Herberge berichtet ein Gast von der Beschlagnahme aller Heiligenbilder seiner altgläubigen Gemeinde durch die Behörden. Er begibt sich daraufhin mit einem Begleiter auf eine gefährliche Reise, um die wichtigste Engels-Ikone zurückzuholen. "Versiegelte Engel" beleuchtet die tiefgreifende Verwurzelung des russischen Volkes mit dem christlichen Glauben, insbesondere das Leben der vom Staat verfolgten Altgläubigen im Russland des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. Darüber hinaus gewährt der Roman Einblicke in die Kunst der russischen Ikonenmalerei.
