Pushkin. Life and Lyre

To navigate the Pushkin world, modern readers, especially the young, need a compass, believes writer, Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor at Moscow State University Vladimir Novikov, author of biographies of Blok and Vysotsky in the "Zhizn Zametki" series. He sees his new work - a biography of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin - as such a compass, presented as an accessible narrative from which the reader can glean not concepts and hypotheses, but the most essential information. At the same time, the author has managed to capture the dynamics of the real fate of the great Russian poet, encompassing both "diligent labor" and "all the impressions of existence".
