Museyib Amirov is a collection of paradoxes. A dreamer, cherishing a touching faith in the idea of creating a gigantic iron bird that is capable of lifting dreamers like himself into the skies over Absheron. A workaholic who does not believe in the need for inspiration. A creative recluse, who by his own acknowledgment is capable of not leaving his workshop for months and a person with an amazing number of friends prepared to do anything for him.
