About the book: 1986 / The great writer of the 4th millennium Nikolai Brokt, remarkable for his multifaceted talent, amazing authenticity and subtlety of penetration into bygone eras, died . Readers are left with “Hadji Murat”, “Fiesta”, “Shagreen Skin”, “Coriolanus”, “Mtsyri”... and someday on his grave they will write “To the greatest of plagiarists Broctus - grateful humanity.” Need a successor to his mission.
