Today, let's talk about her trilogy "The Source of Happiness". This is a story about the possibility of a real life extension. "The source of happiness" Dashkova wrote in 2007, when humanity was already intrigued by scientific discoveries about artificial rejuvenation of the body.

The main hero of the work is the billionaire Peter Borisovich Kolt. This man is so rich that he is able to acquire any thing. He perfectly conducts his affairs and can conclude any transaction. "Source of Happiness" presents us as a strong personality, a winner. Now he set out to find a means to ensure eternal youth. Colt does not trust all sorts of myths about stem cells and a philosophical stone. He is looking for a real tool - the achievement of science. He was interested in the mystical opening of the military surgeon-professor Sveshnikov, which was recorded in 1916 in the Russian capital.

It is not known what the essence of the experiments is. Professorial records disappeared in revolutionary times. The scientist himself also seemed to have sunk into the water. His life and supposed death are all in question.

This mysterious discovery is the mainstay of the work, which was presented by the writer Dashkova.
