Nikolai Nekrasov. The path is glorious, the name is loud. Andreeva Yu.

A surprisingly bright fate fell to Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov: as a child, the sloppy and the truant, and in his youth, Nekrasov had a chance to bum... in his life he made his way not just from the clean sheet, but in conjunction of all possible and impossible barriers, like a dandelion through asphalt. The ingenious, on the verge of shullerism, a card player, a mannered dandy, a fearless poet, a publisher who not only paid the authors, but appreciated the writer's work more than anyone else in his time. This man openly lived with a stranger wife, he did not disdain to give bribes to the censors and did it gracefully, losing to the cards in pre -agreed amounts. Wanting to save his life, he sacrificed his own honor and a good name. Finally, this is a poet, at the funeral of which the students shouted "he is like Pushkin, he is above Pushkin." The book is intended for everyone who is interested in history.
