This book contains essays dedicated to writers of the "first wave" of Russian emigration. Those who found themselves in exile after 1917 and still have not been able to find their rightful place in their native literature.

The focus is on the figures of Mark Aldanov, Vladimir Veidle, Gaito Gazdanov, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Osorgin, Fyodor Stepun, and others, whose lives and works are intertwined in history and on the pages of this book. The author sees her task as returning this integral part of national culture to the reader.

Each essay is self-contained, so the book can be explored from any point. At the same time, each writer's character is revealed more deeply through their interactions with other characters. This structure of the text creates a polyphonic effect, in which the characters engage in dialogue... and even polemics. Just like in life.
