Yevgeny Schwartz (1896–1958) wrote fairy tales that were more accurate and honest than many Soviet novels. In his plays "The Shadow" (1940) and "The Dragon" (1944), he revealed the nature of slavery with rare insight, and in a time of rupture and loss, he spoke of friendship, love, and hope in a way that made one breathe easier. He knew how to laugh at his terrified contemporaries—and at the same time pity them, mourning their broken souls.

Who was Schwartz really—a mocker or a sage beneath the guise of a jester? An artist who, by inverting familiar words and meanings, saw life more clearly than most? Natalia Gromova offers a thoughtful and humane portrait of a writer who managed to bring an inner light through the darkness of his time and give readers hope for healing.
