A dashing cavalry soldier and a rake from the capital, a hero-lover and a guards officer, for whom honor is above all, becomes a robber when a powerful neighbor takes away his estate, and love for the daughter of an enemy makes the young man the most unfortunate person in the world.
In the fall of 1832, a friend told this story to Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. The first Russian writer, in dire need of money, tried to turn a simple plot into a tabloid novel. Soon the idea bored him; Pushkin abandoned the drafts so as not to return to them again ... ... but in 1841 the publishers of the posthumous collected works put together scattered sketches in the likeness of a book, calling it "Dubrovsky". Since then, the novel, which never existed, has been misleading more and more generations of readers, and the real Dubrovsky has simply been forgotten over the years. But who was he anyway? What unexpected secrets of the Russian Empire was the young guardsman initiated into, and how did his fate turn out? "An intelligent person could take a ready-made plan, ready-made characters, correct the style and nonsense, supplement omissions - and a wonderful, original novel would come out." This advice of Pushkin himself makes it possible, finally, to reveal to inquisitive descendants the true story of the noble robber Vladimir Dubrovsky.
