About the book: 2017 / The book includes the unfinished fantastic story by M. Yu. Lermontov "Shtoss" and its ending, written in 1932 by I. S. . Lukash - a writer highly valued in exile and underestimated at home. Lukash’s laconic “romantic story” simultaneously analyzes Lermontov’s plot and develops one of the main motifs of Russian romanticism in general - the image of the “fallen” and captive Sophia.
