Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky, who became a classic of Russian literature under the pen name Grin, is rightfully considered the chief romantic of the 20th century. And his “Scarlet Sails” became the most popular symbol for many generations of readers. But the writer’s work had many other colors, too. He skillfully created detective stories and gloomy thrillers, wrote delicate psychological novellas, and sometimes plunged into such harsh realism that it simply takes your breath away. No matter how difficult it is for Grin’s heroes, they go against the twists of fate and find a way out.
