Georgy Tovstonogov is a director who created an entire era in theatrical art, not only domestic, but also world-wide. He, the son of an "enemy of the people", who was not embarrassed to indicate himself in questionnaires as a Russian nobleman and who, on principle, did not join the party, managed to return to the Soviet stage such fundamental concepts as morality, conscience, and spirituality. Tovstonogov's BDT became not only a cultural, but also a spiritual phenomenon of its time, and for its creator - a kind of empire in which he reigned without limits. At the same time, until the end of his days, the "emperor" remained alone, despite the deep respect and love of his "subjects". The presented book gives a detailed account of the difficult life path of Georgy Tovstonogov, analyzes the unique phenomenon of the theater he created, and also presents portraits of the actors who made the Tovstonogov empire famous: Smoktunovsky, Strzhelchik, Kopelyan, Doronina, Basilashvili, Borisov, Luspekaev, Lavrov, Trofimov, Sharko
