Thirteen of Pushkin's friends are outstanding contemporaries of the poet, who at different times were part of his inner circle. On the pages of the book the reader will meet eccentric and life-loving Vasily Lvovich Pushkin - the poet's uncle, also a poet and the author of a popular frivolous poem; younger spoiled brother Lyovushka, who caused a lot of trouble to his famous relative; "defeated teacher" Vasily Zhukovsky, more than once diverted from the irascible "student" the anger of the authorities; cheerful Lyceum company, divided by the turbulent course of Russian history - Anton Delvig, Wilhelm Kuchelbecker and Ivan Pushchin; the Moscow baron, courtier and bon vivant Pavel Nashchokin, whose stories are inspired by the plots of several of Pushkin's works; the socialite Elizaveta Khitrovo, who adores him....
The literary and biographical sketches included in the book describe not just historical figures, but living people with their strengths and weaknesses, victories and defeats. They are very different, but each takes a special place in the biography and works of Alexander Sergeyevich; in the light of relationships with them, often difficult and contradictory, the personality of the poet appears before us especially bright and clear.
