Alexei Tolstoy, a prose writer, known to everyone from childhood, will be completely different from what readers represent him. Emigrant and Patriot, statesman and anarchist, selfish and exemplary family man - the figure is completely contradictory and therefore infinitely interesting ...
“I did not love my hero when I began to write this book. I knew that his origin was dark that he was a clever defector who betrayed the high ideals of Russian emigration and became one of the most striking ideologists of the Soviet regime. I was preparing to expose and condemn him ... But Alexei Tolstoy won me, forced me to revise the most common writer myths. I saw not only a “talented belly” of a prose writer, but - a wide Russian person, passionate, who does not represent his life outside Russia, a stubborn statesman, soil, cosmopolitan, anarchist, master of life, gambling, risky player, husband, father, infinitely in love with life in life who generously repaid him with mutual love.
