Count Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy is well known both as a poet (his poems “My Bells”, “Among the Noisy Ball” became popular romances), and as one of the creators of the famous Kozma Prutkov – a witty literary hoax, and as a playwright, whose plays still do not descend from the stage (the history of the Moscow Art Theater began with the production of his play “Tsar Fedor Ioannovich”. The historical novel of A. K. Tolstoy “Prince of Silver” (1862), whose action is attributed to the time of oprichnina, introduced by Ivan the Terrible, also enjoys great success. The title character, Prince Nikita Romanovich Silver, like a medieval wandering knight, confronts a multifaceted evil, trying to defend his beloved. An exciting plot and meticulously reproduced historical and folklore material - descriptions of luxurious royal feasts, falconry, folk songs, legends - make Alexei Tolstoy's masterpiece a fascinating reading for any age.
