Pushkin's satellites. Lyceum. Petersburg. Link. Veresaev V.V.

The fruit of many years of work by V.V. Veresaev, the book “Pushkin's satellites” opened at one time a new genre in Russian literature - a chronicle of characteristics and opinions. In this book there is no interpretation of events from the life of A. S. Pushkin and describing it with the help of artistic means. Instead, the author “mounts” historical facts in the unique series of portraits of the poet’s contemporaries, the history of his time, life and morals of the era.

In this collection, portraits of relatives and households A. S. Pushkin, his friends and mentors in Lyceum, participants in the Societies of Arzamas and Green Lamp, as well as family members of the Raevsky and those who surrounded the poet in Chisinau, in Odessa and Kamenka.
