  We describe relations between hyperbolic geometry and codimension two knots
or, more exactly, between varieties of conjugacy classes of discrete faithful
representations of the fundamental groups of hyperbolic n-manifolds M into
$\operatorname{SO}^{\circ} (n+2,1)$ and (n-1)-dimensional knots in the
(n+1)-sphere. This approach allows us to discover a phenomenon of
non-connectedness of these varieties for closed n-manifolds M, $n\geq 3$, with
large enough number of disjoint totally geodesic surfaces, to construct
quasisymmetric infinitely compounded "Julia" knots $K\subset S^{n+1}$ which are
everywhere wild and have recurrent $\pi_1(M)$-action, and to study circle and
2-plane bundles (with geometric structures) over closed hyperbolic n-manifolds.
