His biography could be the basis of an adventure series. He was pursued by the NKVD, he fought at the front, he was expelled from the country for dissent, he received world recognition, he traveled all over the world. A simple peasant son, originally from a remote village, he became the intellectual leader of several generations of domestic and foreign philosophers. His "sociological novels" brought him the fame of the "first writer of the XXI century" long before the beginning of the new century. He was idolized and overthrown, called a genius and a madman, adored and hated, awarded and prepared attempts on him.
