Alexander Arkhangelsky is a well—known novelist, essayist, and documentary filmmaker. Winner of various awards. For almost 20 years, he was a TV presenter on the Kultura channel, and now he is focusing on books. Arkhangelsky has been writing about Pushkin since his youth, but he does not consider himself a Pushkinist; his task is to talk about Pushkin for everyone, relying on knowledge, following the feeling. The book raises harsh questions: How are the poems "Slanderers of Russia" and "independence," patriarchy and individualism related? what was Pushkin's vocation and why did he try to dive into ideology?This book is not a classic biography. She talks briefly about everything: about the lyceum, the exile, the dialogue with the tsar and the failure of hope. Happiness, faith, love and family, politics, money, duel… Ellipsis. . A new book by the writer, literary critic, TV presenter, master of short biography and author of the bestseller "Bureau of Verification". – About the classic, not as a character in a myth, but as a person. A story without unnecessary pathos and irresistible author's irony. – The "ONCE UPON a TIME" series — short biographies of the essence.
