Phellin

Leonid Yuzefovich-writer, historian, author of documentary biographic novels-“Autocrats of the desert” about the mysterious baron Ungern and “Winter Road” (the “Big Book” and “National Bestseller” awards) about the latest romance of the White Movement, General Anatoly Pepelyaev, an adventurous novel about The nineties “cranes and dwarfs”, which was based on the “Iliad” of Homer about the eternal war of cranes and pygmev-carliks ​​(the Big Book Award), the remembrance of “Kazaroza” and a collection of stories “Lighthouse on Khiyuma”.

“Philelin -“ Loving Greeks ”. In the 20s of the XIX century, those who sympathized with the struggle of the Greek rebels with the Ottoman Empire were so called or took a direct part in it. Philelin, as Bairon, who went to Greece and who died there, is considered by the main character of the novel, retired headquarters captain Grigory Moscepanov. This is a fictional character. Unlike my documentary books, here I gave free rein to the imagination, but I put my patterns on the canvas of genuine events. The action is tied in the Nizhny Tagil factories, continues in Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tsarskoye Selo, Taganrog, from Russia is transferred to Navplion and Alexandria, and ends in Athens, on the Acropolis. Among the central heroes of the novel are Alexander I, Baroness-mystik Julia Cridner, the Egyptian commander Ibrahim Pasha, other real figures, but my role did not come down to the choice of flowers when painting them. The reconstruction of the past was not my goal. “Filelin” is more of variations on historical topics than a traditional historical novel. ”
