Be careful what you wish for, because wishes have a way of coming true. Once an ordinary man in the twenty-first century, and now a titled aristocrat and officer of the border guard in the nineteenth, Alexander has tested the truth of this statement on himself. At first he simply wanted very much to survive in a time and world чужие to him. Then—to live normally, without having to scrimp on the meager salary of a cornet in the border guard. Then came one more desire, then another, then a third… and somehow it turned out that now, in the sixth year of his new life, he is an arms magnate, an inventor, a successful manufacturer, and the owner of a million-ruble fortune. Everything has come true, everything has been achieved… Or not everything? A strange desire stirs Prince Agryenev’s blood, gives him no peace to sleep or live. Wild and irrational in its simplicity and impossibility—to steer the ship of the empire through two revolutions and two wars… Author’s version of the text.
