Description

For many years in a row, Vladimir Chernov, editor-in-chief of Story magazine, constantly received letters asking him to write a book. In the end, that is exactly what he did. Chernov writes about great figures so unusually and unexpectedly that at first he completely disorients the reader. Diaghilev, Salvador Dalí, Rostropovich. Chernov juggles facts, conjectures, rumors, and outright gossip with the dexterity of an experienced magician. The result is stories about the Great that are sometimes insanely funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always very interesting.
