The Tsar, the Tsarevich, the Shoemaker, the Rebel

«The Tsar, the Tsarevich, the Shoemaker, the Rebel» — a novel about the coming of age of a soul searching for light among the shadows of history. Hirsch, a boy from the poor town of Birzula, who became an orphan... at an early age, discovers the world and dreams of breaking free from the place where he feels trapped. His path leads him to Moscow — a city teeming with ideas, hopes, and blood, where the old order collapses and a new, equally brutal one is born. Moscow at the beginning of the 20th century greets the young man with the anxiety of change and the temptation of ideas. The experience of a rebel and a witness to violence sobers Hirsch.
Amidst the noisy streets and revolutionary chaos, he tries to preserve what is most important — the ability to think, to doubt, and to love.
