Mad Turgenev and Other Stories. A Book about Russian Writers of the 19th Century...

One of the favorite reader genres is stories about writers. The heroes of this book are Turgenev and Herzen, Pushkin and Nekrasov, Avdotya Panayeva and Polina Viardo, as well as many other representatives of the literary craft who came to... us from the 19th century. The author writes freely and easily, immersing us in the atmosphere and environment of their lives. Some characters transition from one text to another, which helps create a kind of meta-text, a unique novel woven from stories and novellas. And very often, the reader feels that the character is well-known to them and that everything described actually took place, although the author in his works, in addition to documents—letters, diaries, eyewitness accounts—widely uses imagination.
