Description
[Machine Translation] In 1984, Fyodor, a young Russian exile in his mid-20s living in Berlin, has just published his first book of poetry. His father, a world-renowned lepidopterist, disappeared on an expedition to Central Asia in 1916, and his beautiful mother and sister live in Paris. His own life was impoverished, but his devotion to the great Russian literature of Pushkin and Gogol never wavered. Memories of the villa where he and his father chased butterflies, literary discussions in Russian exile circles, and nightly wanderings in Berlin with the woman of his dreams.... Eventually, he devoted himself to writing a critical biography of Chernyshevsky, a progressive thinker who considered art to be secondary.
