Leonid Andreyev: Duke Lorenzo
- The work of Leonid Andreyev still sparks debates among critics. For some, his works are "exemplary nastiness," while others note a "strong breath of talent." But what was the writer really like: a cold cynic or a sensitive, vulnerable soul? Why, being a patriot, did he not accept the Revolution? Why did he engage in duels? The answers are in the new biography. - Pavel Basinsky is a master of the biographical genre. His books "Passions for Maxim. Gorky," "Leo Tolstoy: Escape from Paradise," "Look at Me. The Secret History of Liza Dyakonova" became bestsellers and brought the writer two "Big Book" awards. - The book is published in the ZHIL series (Life of Famous People).
