About the book: 1902 / Vladimir Lyudvigovich Dedlov (real name Kign) (1856–1908) - publicist, prose writer, critic. Dedlov received his education in Moscow, first in the German “Peterschule”, then in the Russian classical gymnasium. At the age of 15, he became interested in the ideas of peasant socialism and even organized a propaganda circle. This hobby was short-lived and shallow, but Dedlov was expelled from the senior class of the gymnasium, and he had to complete the course in a number of private educational institutions. He captured the “martyrdom” of his school years, with drill and scholasticism, in his autobiographical essays “School Memoirs.” Edition of 1902, the text has been adjusted to modern spelling.
