CYCLE III The Gift

Every Gift Comes With a Price

«The Gift» — a cycle of biographical parables about people who were granted the ability to see, to hear, and to create what had never existed before.

Stories of Phineas Taylor Barnum, Nikola Tesla, Vincent van Gogh, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Anna Pavlova, Coco Chanel, and other great creators whose talents changed the way the world is perceived.

But exceptional talent is not only the ability to create.

It is a trial that demands an entire life.

Behind the radiance of genius lies an eternal question:
what can a person’s gift give them — and what can it never replace?
«THE GIFT» — THE THIRD CYCLE OF 7 NOVELLAS

Cycle Structure

Novella No. 1:
“Everything but Love”
Phineas Taylor Barnum: the man who creates wonder.
  • His gift: turning human faith and imagination into the experience of the impossible.

Novella No. 2:
“The Man Who Heard Lightning”
Nikola Tesla: the man who sees the invisible.
  • His gift: to uncover the forces of nature and look into the future before anyone else.

Next in the cycle:

Novella No. 3
Coco Chanel the gift of transforming a human being.

    Why These Seven?

    Why Tesla and not Einstein?
    Why Van Gogh and not da Vinci?

    Iskandar Kadyrov explains why these seven figures were chosen for the cycle — and what truly connects them.
