Though little is known about author biography, Aleksei Petrovich Kovalev had published three literary works aiming to affect the course of the world history. The first one was dedicated to the Ancient Eastern Bahá'í Faith religion and its establisher Bahá'u'lláh, teaching unity of all religions in a World Brotherhood. The second work presents the new language of international communication invented by author. In the current third book he has continued his ideas of Brotherhood and attempts to unite the World by beginning with the words: “On the 4th October, 1912, emerged Mago Lucifind Adelfiy (Great Lightbringer Brotherhood), which has marked the beginning of a new time in the life of mankind serving as a key to the revival of the latter, the source of education and the basis of a new race." Each should strive for honorary position of the knight or the page boy and work for the Brotherhood. Following are numerous letters addressed to the author from different towns and different people, then nearly 100 pages of poems not quite related to the glorious commandments at the beginning.
