The book reveals the details of the Persian campaign of Court V.A. Zubov, whose name was mentioned by the poet in the notes to the poem "The Caucasian Prisoner". The story is also about the prisoners of the mountains (real and literary) because fiction is always generated by life, and life sometimes exceeds the limits of the most bizarre fantasy. The reader will meet with the Russian generals A.P. Ermolov and I.F. Paskevich, other contemporaries of the poet. A separate chapter is devoted to the literary history of Pushkin's Parnassus – Mount Beshtau. Author: Nikolai Vasilievich Markelov is the chief curator of the State Museum-Reserve named after M. Y. Lermontov.
