He was young, naive, in love, full of freedom -loving ideas and romantic illusions. He was deceived, slandered, rejected and despised. He disappeared, having imitated suicide, and returned to his homeland only after thirteen years – under a stranger to the name, with a disfigured appearance, distorted by fate and a suffering heart. He appeared before the people whom he once knew and loved warmly, a mocking cynic with a sonorous and whiped journalistic pseudonym.
And few managed to see under this mask a passionate, impulsive, noble nature of man, still faithful to the beautiful ideals of his youth … “binding”, the first and, as it is rightly believed, the best novel of the English writer Ethelian Voinich, and today fascinates his plot drama associated with the image of the main character – bright, strong, tragic.
