在俄罗斯活跃着一批“盗采宝石者”。他们中大多数人是大学教授、航天工程师等高级知识分子。每年夏初他们悄悄前往极北地区的深山中探险找宝石。历史学教授安菲洛果夫又要出发了。他能有幸发现巨大的宝藏吗？ 克雷洛夫前往火车站给教授送行，与一位同样前来给教授送行的清纯而又神秘的女子相遇，从此结下不解之缘。他俩相互不知姓名、住址、联系方式，每次幽会结束之后才随机约定下一次见面的时间和地点。终于有一天，他们在快要见面时，不幸被为纪念十月革命一百周年举行的化装游行的人群冲散了。他们还能找到对方吗？…… 小说借助于跌宕起伏的侦探小说式的情节、离奇动人的爱情故事，以比喻超多、意象极为饱和的语言，对社会、历史、环境、人生等诸多方面进行了深刻的思考和考量，堪称代表俄罗斯当代文学水平的佳作。
