Isaac Levitan

As everyone knows, the life of every brilliant talent is usually divided into three periods. First, they are showered with mockery and insults, oppressed in every possible way, and persecuted. Then comes a happy time of recognition, followed by days of enthusiastic worship. Finally, just as inevitably, comes a cooling-off period, often accompanied by sharp jabs at the former darling and the ruler of minds.

Few gifted people managed to avoid this template, and the only thing that life can add is this: either one dies in the prime of fame, or another is destined to outlive it and experience, all the way to the end of life, the full bitterness of oblivion.

Exceptions are almost nonexistent. The same template shaped Levitan’s life as well. A story about the fate and creativity of this amazing artist awaits you in this audiobook.
