Crow. Forsh O.D.

The book of the wonderful Russian Soviet writer Olga Dmitrievna Forsh (1873-1961) included three of her early works, which are examples of the depth of penetration into the essence of human relations. The main meaning of the novel “Contemporaries” is in an ideological and creative dispute between the outstanding Russian artist Alexander Ivanov and N.V.
