Mikhail Andreyevich Osorgin (real name Ilyin; 1878-1942) - writer, journalist, one of the figures of the Russian emigration. He was born in Perm, graduated from the law faculty of Moscow University, and studied law. He took part in the Moscow armed uprising of 1905, was arrested, and being released in 1906, went abroad, lived in France and Italy. From 1907 to 1916 he kept a diary, where he recorded his Italian impressions, and also worked as a journalist in the publications "Herald of Europe" and "Russian Vedomosti". Part of his correspondence was included in the book "Sketches of Modern Italy", which was published in 1913. "Essays" is permeated with Osorgin's love for the country where he lived "the best years of his youth," as the writer himself noted. The book covers in detail many problems of Italy in the early twentieth century, social, political and economic issues (medicine, education, unemployment, the life of peasants and urban dwellers, the Italian Camorra); a significant part of the "Essays" is devoted to Rome, as well as issues of Italian literature and art. This edition is published with a foreword and commentary by philologist and translator Anna Vladislavovna Yampolskaya (Moscow).
