Kulibin. The Main Mechanic of Russia

This is the legend and pride of Russian culture, a self-taught master from Nizhny Novgorod, creator of unique mechanisms, an inventor whose ideas ahead of their time were realized years and even centuries later. Foreigners hunted for his blueprints, while he spent his entire life thinking not about personal gain, but about the glory of his homeland. 

Perhaps, for the first time, the figure of Kulibin, the life and fate of the Russian genius are presented in this book so vividly, accessibly, and humanely warmly.
