One of the most accomplished poets of the 19th century, Konstantin Nikolaevich Batyushkov (1787-1855) occupies a special place in the history of Russian literature as the immediate and closest predecessor of Pushkin. In a worldly sense, fate proved extremely cruel to him: he failed to make a career, although he was a brave officer; he failed to arrange his personal life, although he passionately dreamed of love; and his creative biography was cut short, as they say, at its peak. Joys and good fortune generally passed him by, and even more often he fled from them, turning his life into an endless series of troubles and misfortunes. How it all ended is well known: Batyushkov spent the last thirty-odd years in an unconscious state, completely losing his mind and effectively dropping off the list of the living. "God forbid that I go mad. No, a staff and a scrip are easier..." - these famous lines were written by Pushkin under the impression of his last meeting with the mad poet... This book presents Batyushkov's biography in its most comprehensive form to date, taking into account all the latest observations and findings of researchers studying the poet's life and work. Furthermore, the author aims to correct long-standing errors and the numerous myths that have arisen around this brilliant and deeply unhappy man.
