Figner - geroi voiny 1812 goda - Ganulich Aleksandr Anatol'evich

The beginning of the 19th century was an epic time for Russia. It was inspired by a dramatic confrontation with Napoleon. The epoch gave birth to dozens and hundreds of heroes: generals, officers, privates, peasants, guerrillas, about which legends are built, written studies, books, poems. But for all the richness of historical and creative material about some of the characters is known surprisingly little. Such personalities include Alexander Figner - officer, guerrilla, scout; man of unparalleled courage, of immense ability, of a fine mind. Alexander Ganilich's book is based on documentary material, written in elegant language and reads as a fascinating historical narrative.
