Тьма Египетская
"Тьма Египетская" - произведение русского прозаика и поэта Крестовского Всеволода Владимировича (1840-1895).*** "Тьма Египетская" - первая часть исторической трилогии Всеволода Крестовского о еврействе на русской земле. Действие романа разворачивается в вымышленном городе Украинск в 70-х годах XIX века. Приключения еврейской девушки Тамары Бендавид и ее избранника-авантюриста не оставят читателя равнодушным. Перу Всеволода Крестовского принадлежат романы "Петербургские трущобы", "Кровавый пуф", "Тьма египетская", "Тамара Бендавид"; историческая повесть "Деды", мемуарная проза "Уланы Цесаревича Константина", "Очерки кавалерийской жизни"; стихотворения. Талант Крестовского состоит в том, что через судьбы героев его произведений проступает история российского государства во всей полноте и красочности деталей. Автора больше всего волнуют вопросы морального совершенствования общества. Он уверен, что от каждого отдельного человека зависит духовное здоровье нации. Поэтому в его произведениях злодеи, рано или поздно, получают по заслугам, а светлые личности, пройдя через немыслимые испытания, наконец обретают счастье и покой. Произведения Крестовского популярны и в наше время, некоторые из них экранизированы.

About the author
Vsevolod Krestovsky
33 booksVsevolod Vladimirovich Krestovsky (Russian: Всеволод Владимирович Крестовский; February 23, 1840 – January 30, 1895) was a Russian writer who worked in the city mysteries genre.
Krestovsky came from an old family of Ukrainian gentry. In 1857 he enrolled in the Historico-Philological faculty of St Petersburg University. At the University he became friends with the radical critic Dmitry Pisarev, and wrote for the magazine Russian Word.
After his short association with the radical camp, he joined a group of moderate slavophiles which included Apollon Maykov, Lev Mei and others, and began publishing his works in Notes of the Fatherland, Time and Epoch. In 1860 he left the University to become a professional writer. His novel The Slums of Saint Petersburg (1864), a product of many hours of personal observation, gained him considerable popularity.
In 1863 he traveled to Warsaw to take notes for his novel The Flock of Panurge (1869), about the January Uprising. In 1874 he wrote another novel, The Force, on the same subject. Both novels were reactionary in nature. In the 1880s Krestovsky became frankly and openly anti-Semitic in his political and social views. His blatantly anti-Semitic trilogy The Jews are Coming was published between 1888 and 1892. He died in Warsaw in 1895.

Такой подробной и точной информации в одном месте трудно будет найти. Для всех кому это интересно очень рекомендую. И по факту Крестовский и его произведения очень хороши.
