Description
Sasha Stavissky is a gifted young man from a respectable family. Quite early he realized that studying languages and other lyceum wisdom instilled in him only an overwhelming boredom and longing. And almost at the same time he felt an irresistible attraction to those pleasures and gorgeous women that usually awaken in young men a few years later than it did for Sasha. Once he understood how attractive he was—especially to ladies of Balzac’s age—the former lyceum student chose not a career as a bank clerk, but the path of a gigolo, filling the monotonous days of aging beauties with his youthful ardor and passion. But one day Sasha met once-famous actress Georgette Clair from the theater stage—and everything went not as planned.
