Flight and Whims of a Genius; Miniatures

The historical miniatures of Valentin Pikul are a unique phenomenon in contemporary domestic literature, vividly demonstrating the writer's unparalleled talent. Each of the miniatures, according to the author, "is also a historical novel, only compressed into a smaller quantity." The miniatures included in this edition represent a gallery of portraits of writers, artists, musicians, and other creative individuals who lived from the 16th to the early 20th century.
