Those who happened to be born and live at the end of the century before last - at the beginning of the last century faced many trials. Each fate that unfolded in the hard times of endless wars and revolutions is a feat accomplished in the name of the future. In 1888, the poet, prose writer, and critic Vladimir Ivanovich Narbut came into this world, who was later given the nickname “Long-legged.” He managed to publish twelve wonderful books before the executioners’ bullets put an end to his life and works. He endured many trials with honor, went through tragedies and dramas that could break the strongest person in spirit, and remained himself - the one who came to the sublunary world to create and create. This book tells about the fate of an outstanding personality, whose name was resurrected from oblivion in the seventies of the twentieth century, as well as the era, bloody and heroic, frightening and romantic, which he called his own.
