The book is written on factual material. The basis is taken from the memoirs of friends and contemporaries of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. It is known that on April 20, 1834, in a letter to his wife, Natalya Nikolaevna, in the year of his thirty-fifth birthday, the poet wrote: "I saw three kings: the first ordered me to take off my cap and scolded my nanny (Arina Rodionovna) for me; the second did not regret me..." He was Emperor Alexander I... "Emperor Alexander I did not regret the poet," which he proved by forcing him to serve the link twice... This work in a short, fascinating and original form of presentation tells about the life and work of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin from 1799 to 1826. The publication is illustrated on the basis of paintings of the Pushkin period and is intended for a wide range of readers.
