This is another book about Anna Kern. And not the last, of course. As long as we know Pushkin, we will know her too. Each generation of readers will have their own. In this book she is the way I saw her. Pushkin created her literary reputation: a genius of pure beauty! But he himself destroyed it. General Ermolai Kern himself created a reputation for himself as a hero of the first great war of liberation, Anna destroyed it. The Pushkinists completed the job. I feel sorry for the general, and I will try to protect him. Anna Kern lived a tumultuous life. Pushkin scholars included fourteen lucky people in her alcove list, including Pushkin’s father, Sergei Lvovich, and his brother, Lev. It’s amazing, she loved all these men sincerely, as if for the first time. Her heart was renewed for every new love. So her drama series did not bore her even at the end of her life. And this is all extraordinary too. Why did it happen that an entire era of heroes and geniuses looks at us through her eyes? Contains obscene language.
