14.99 €
A virtuoso card sharper, a brilliant marksman, and an unrivaled swordsman, he defended his country and his own honor with arms in hand, sometimes being demoted, only to regain his rank and decorations through desperate bravery. He bowed to the audience from his theater box when they described him from the stage: "A night robber, a duelist, / Exiled to Kamchatka, returned as an Aleut, / And deeply dishonest; / But a clever man cannot help but be a rogue." He deceived his way into the first Russian circumnavigation of the globe, became famous as a warrior and a conqueror of women's hearts on three continents, astonished his contemporaries with his tattoos, and traversed the entire length of Russia from east to west. He was a descendant of an ancient noble family and the best hunter in a tribe of savages, he was the prototype of book heroes and the hero of salon gossip - the famous adventurer Count Fyodor Ivanovich Tolstoy, nicknamed the American.
