The novel of my life. A book of memories. Volume 1

The reputation of the famous writer and journalist of the last third of the XIX - early XX centuries. Ieronima Jeronimovich Yasinsky was very controversial: too often he changed the orientation: from nationality to monarchical populism, and then to Nischeunce and Marxism, and from social fiction to "art for art", and then to proletarian literature. Trying to present his life in the positive light, he wrote for the first time published in the full memory of the Roman of My Life (in 1926 they were printed a strongly abbreviated version), where he gave a wide panorama of Russian life (life of students and peasants, liberation movement, journalism, First World War, Sport, etc) Special attention is paid to literature (the book contains portraits of I.A. Baldrova, M.E. Saltykova-Shchedrin, N.S.Leskova, A.P.hekhova, K.M.Fofanova, S.Ya. Vadsson, V.M. Garshin and many other writers)
