Nikolai Karlovich Shilder (1842-1902) was a major specialist in Russian history and the author of a number of fundamental monographs. This edition presents a description of the life of the brilliant Russian fortifier Eduard Ivanovich Totleben, the hero of Sevastopol and Plevna, with whom the author had long personal and official relations. The work is written in clear figurative language; its main virtue is skillful psychological analysis, careful and accurate criticism of historiography and sources, use of little-known materials on political, military and diplomatic history. It deepens the historical understanding of the second half of the XIX century, refusing the one-sidedness of mere praise, and allows you to get a clear and true picture of the described era, events and personalities. The edition is in two volumes, accompanied by a set of maps and drawings, exact copies of the originals of 1885-1886. The uniqueness of the edition is a complete translation of all letters and documents, which in the original 19th century were given in French. For a wide range of readers.
