Derzhavin. Mikhailov O.

“Derzhavin, Beach the nobleman, with the sound of a formidable lyre, their proudly exposed idols,” are Pushkin’s words about one of the brightest and most significant Russian writers and poets of the XVIII century about Gavril Romanovich Derzhavin (1743-1816). His honesty and directness, an open and proud character and difficult fate of a person who has gone from a soldier to the minister, is dedicated to the historical and biographical novel of the prose writer and literary critic Oleg Mikhailov (1932-2013) “Derzhavin”. The book is included in the series "Life of wonderful people", founded by M. Gorky.
