"Three Centuries with Pushkin" - this is how long numerous admirers and fans try to recognize the phenomenon of the Russian genius. As if collecting an endless puzzle piece by piece and each time realizing: no, no one is able to complete that idea!
Perhaps, for the first time on the pages of this book, the intersections of Pushkin, previously unknown, with great names in world culture: Andersen, Dostoevsky, Bunin, have been found.
In the book, heroes from different eras coexist peacefully: Peter the Great and his protégé Abram Gannibal, the poet's grandson Leonty Dubelt and dancer Serge Lifar, Pushkin scholar Modest Hoffman and Grand Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich, the poet's great-grandson Alexander Mezensov and our contemporary Baron Eduard Falz-Fein.
"Pushkin died in the full bloom of his powers and undoubtedly took with him to the grave a certain great mystery. And now we, without him, are deciphering this mystery," - foresightedly declared Fyodor Dostoevsky once. As if bequeathing to us, future generations, not to abandon those attempts.
