Contemporaries called Alexander Amfitheatrov "the Russian Balzac"; his literary gift was admired by Maxim Gorky himself. The astonishing richness of the language, the confiding manner of writing, unforgettable plots, and absolute love for Russia and the multinational Russian people are...
the qualities that the great author has been charming his readers with for over a century. The adventure novel "Princess" (1896) reads like a hymn to youth and, at the same time, like an encyclopedia of Russian life: here you can find both noble revelry, petty intrigues, the customs of old believers, and the feelings of a lonely, sensitive soul... and the most unexpected ending in the history of Russian literature.
