Literary characters are most often the author's fiction. But sometimes a writer in search of his hero turns to real life. A prototype is a specific historical person or a contemporary whose personality served as a starting point for the author to create an image. Gorky believed that the writer is obliged to speculate and typify the image of a real person. And the study of prototypes of Dostoevsky's characters requires considerable philosophical knowledge, so deeply did the writer delve into human existence. Quite often the prototypes of literary heroes became close friends, acquaintances, and sometimes lovers of writers. Often on the pages of books were accurate portraits of real adventurers or dubious adventurers... About a hundred of the most famous and recognizable literary heroes and their prototypes tells the next book in the series.
