The book is published and sales are off the charts.

A real literary detective story revolves around the mysterious Monsieur Pic. Journalists are trying to find out where the venerable man in the street got this amazing love story and what does the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin have to do with it? For the first time in Russian!
