Это книга о дверях и порогах: о входах в доисторические святилища, египетские, греческие и римские храмы, средневековые соборы, крепости, дворцы и виллы. Она о том, что делает их особенными — о символическом смысле, который вложили в них создатели. Каждая дверь знаменует собой переход, а порог — это некий рубеж между двумя реальностями, граница двух миров и двух состояний. Двери неразрывно связаны с понятиями изменения и эволюции, а порой становятся связующей нитью между сном и реальностью, светом и тенью, неведением и мудростью.
