Many readers would like to compare this book with Strugatskys' "It is difficult to be God" - adjusted for the wind of the era. "Jericho" is a dystopia and anti-dystopia, a story of a young adult in the spirit of a young adult, balancing on the edge of urban fantasy and magical realism, a psychological novel about wandering through the inner world, meditation on the theme of ethics, religion, history, public and personal good, responsibility for decisions, the mutual influence of the microcosm and the macrocosm, but, first of all, this is a story about the preservation of personality in spite of the world and oneself. Jericho's target audience is broad. The main character is a teenager who, due to circumstances, considers himself an adult. Anyone who thinks about their place in the world and faces situations in which any choice is wrong can relate themselves to it. "Jericho" is significantly different from most novels about the beggars, where the hero, unable to settle down on his native soil, finds himself in an alternative reality, or saves another world and returns home safely. None of these scenarios apply to Jericho. There are no positive or negative characters here - as in the ancient tragedy, all parties are right to a certain extent and just as guilty. The novel asks many questions, but does not impose a single answer.
