About the book: 2011 / A. I. Ertel began creating the story "The Volkhon Young Lady" after finishing the book "Notes of a Steppe Man", which brought him wide fame and attracted attention critics. Inspired by the success of his first book, Ertel, as he admitted, wrote “The Volkhon Young Lady” in just three weeks, working on the story with extraordinary creative enthusiasm. Neither the old owner of Volkhonka nor Michel Oblepischev are chamber cadets, but each of them, in his own way, okay, “imbued with culture.” Ilya Tutolmin appears as a “romantic revolutionary” in the eyes of Varenka Volkhonskaya. A girl from a noble family is the main character of the story..
