«Председатель хуторского ревкома Егор Ковалев, склонив большую, с тугим завитком на маковке голову, вырвал из ученической тетради бледный, разграфленный синими жилками листок и медленно, с тяжелым нажимом, нацарапал: «Приказываю срочно доставить неизвестную графиню из дома казака Болонина».

About the author
Artyom Vesyoly
6 booksАртём Весёлый (Real Name: Никола́й Ива́нович Кочку́ров; 1899—1938)
Born in Samara, on the banks of the Volga, the son of a waterside worker, Artyom Vesyoly was the first member of his family to learn to read and write. He took part in the Civil War of 1918-1921 on the Red side, and at its conclusion, began a prolific literary career. Vesyoly took as his main theme the horrific events he had witnessed and participated in during the fierce fighting in Southern Russia between the contending forces - Red, White, Cossack, anarchist and others - and the effects of these on the participants and unfortunate civilians caught between them.
