Sometimes, through the layers of centuries, you can no longer see living features, hear infectious laughter, or see the sad eyes of the great poet... What did Pushkin love in life and what did he despise, what did he rejoice in and what did he reject? What was the world of the poet’s hobbies like? This book is another attempt to recreate the living image of the poet with all his human weaknesses and passions, oddities and quirks. The way he was in life, the way he remained in the memory of his contemporaries.
