About the book: year / Sergei Nikolaevich Sergeev-Tsensky (1875–1958) - Russian and Soviet writer, laureate of the Stalin Prize for the epic novel "Sevastopol Strada" . A monumentalist whom Gorky put on a par with Tolstoy, Gogol and Dostoevsky. The epic novel “The Sevastopol Tragedy” is dedicated to the events of the Crimean War of 1853–1856. But this book is not about the war, but about people: about Admiral Nakhimov and Russian sailors, about General Gorchakov and the residents of Sevastopol, who selflessly defended their native land. Sergeev-Tsensky immortalized their names and destinies in his novel.
