Elias, a Jewish boy, spends the first years of his life in the Bulgarian town of Rushchuk on the border with Romania. In a large Sephardic family, everything is subject to the will of his formidable grandfather Canetti. In an effort to escape from his influence, Elias's family moves to England, to business and practical Manchester. The beginning of the First World War catches the hero in imperial Vienna, the end of it he meets in Zurich, where the intoxicating spirit of freedom. And it is there that the happiest period of his youth falls. This book is not only an exciting story about the first young years filled with all kinds of impressions, when a little boy discovers what love and jealousy, cruelty and tenderness, the joy of learning new things and the bitterness of loss, but also a very interesting historical panorama of the early twentieth century, which the reader sees through the eyes of a naive and reflexive child. Published in Russian for the first time.
