    About this ebook

    “Reading with Amber Kitty” is the book “The Dome,” re-published with the new title. The need to change the title of the novel was brewing, and it’s done. “The Dome is a collection of notes, moving for cat-lovers and interesting for esoterics.” (Jim Dixon, goodreads.com) Previously web-published on Scribd.com in 2010 and earlier on the blog Revue Blanche at blog.co.uk, the essay The Dome is a part of the collection of notes about cats and something more written by Lara Biyuts, author of novels “Forever Jocelyn”, “Silver Thread Spinner”, “Lord Jocelyn.” “The ageless man’s nice diary of pleasure. Man has no age. His pleasure has no measure.” It may be said about Lara Biyuts’ first novel Clair-Obscur (re-published novel La Lune Blanche), and some could say that it is not new. Old is gold.

      Reading with Amber Kitty

      "But what is more important, Notre Dame,

      your monstrous ribs I studied from the start

      and oft I thought: I too will make fine art

      from sturdy heaviness through which I came."

      (from the Silver Age poetry)

      Part 1. Light, Shades and Kitty

      The Dome

      (impression)

      A church. I began with the open doors and windows. They emitted semi-darkness and wind; they pushed me away and sucked me in at the same time, tearing my essence to pieces. My essence cursed, but the voice from the dome said: Hush, hush… My essence put on a black robe and gloves. The shutters closed with a bang. The dome watched me unwinking so pityingly and persistently that I could not endure its eye, and fell my own eye down on my toes. It was too hard for my feet, and I, the eye’s owner flung it away. In order not to see the treacherous-affectionate eyes of the dome, I looked at the flickering candle-flame. The flame was so hot that my eye covered with hoarfrost. In order not to put myself to the torture again, I gave myself to the sympathy which outpoured from above. I guess, the dome was too wise to fix its eye upon me alone, and now it watched somebody else. A red-haired woman. The woman responded so bravely that I felt like imitating her, and I attempted to bid defiance to the dome. The dome just smiled and yawned in reply. And the church seemed to be a big yawn. The church got bored with my timid achromatic actions, and its slight left me outside and without my robe. Finding myself in the snowy street, I shivered with cold and went to somewhere.

      Helio-graphy or Once Written...

      On the 19th of January, 2010, was Epiphany Day in our part of the world. And far in the day, at night, in my sleep, I saw my late relatives, therefore the next day, 20 January, I went to the church to order remembrance of the dead in prayer as it was an old custom of us, Orthodox Christians. I go to church seldom, as I said more than once in my blog, only when it’s time to care about my late relatives’ remembrance. In the church, after I did it and bought a candle, I went to the special altar, which was in the
