Rozanov. Varlamov A.

About Vasily Vasilyevich Rozanov (1856-1919), a huge number of books, articles, research, dissertations were written, but he remains the most mysterious, most controversial character of the Silver Age. Conservative, decadent, patriot, Christobar, statesman, anarchist, cresters, erotomaniac, monarchist, sodophob, in love with all Jewish, relaxed journalist, Paul philosopher, free prisoner of his own impressions, he lived an unusually difficult, passionate and bright life. Having become one of the most famous Russian writers of his time, he was contempt for literary glory, and at the end of his life he witnessed the collapse of both Russian statehood and his own family. The story of Rozanov is a story of brilliant victories and defeats, happiness and misfortune, what Blok called the immutable law of the heart: "Joy is one suffering." And all these feelings, all the sensations, all the events and moments of life V.V. knew how to choose the most accurate and magical, the most “Rosanian” words that did not lose the charm and a century later. The author of the book writer Alexei Varlamov does not evade the acute and difficult questions of the biography of his hero and offers the reader with him to look for answers to them.
