General on a White Horse

The historical miniatures of Valentin Pikul are a unique phenomenon in modern domestic literature, vividly demonstrating the writer's unmatched talent. Each of the miniatures, according to the author, is "also a historical novel, only compressed to a small number." The miniatures included in this edition represent a gallery of portraits of fearless defenders of the Fatherland and other historical figures of the 18th to early 20th centuries.
