Vikenty Vikentievich Veresaev (1867-1945) was a Russian writer, physician, translator, and literary critic.The book "Pushkin in Life" is a significant phenomenon in Russian literature. This biography-chronicle was created using the "montage" method — among A. S. Pushkin's own letters, his notes and statements there are memories of his contemporaries, relatives and friends. This creates a surprisingly integral image of Pushkin — not only his poetry and prose, but also his personality, character, appearance, and relationships with other people.
