The biography of the famous Belarusian biochemist, founder of the Institute of Biochemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Belarusian SSR, Academician Yuri Ostrovsky, is written in the current tradition of the historical-biographical genre. To recreate reality, the author uses not only archival information and newspaper publications, diary notes and oral memories, but also photographs, personal belongings, visits to the scene of events. At the same time, he uses artistic techniques that are not typical of documentary, which, without distorting reality, add psychologism, create a feeling of closeness, involvement and empathy. The hero of the book - a real phenomenon in the history of Belarusian science - appears both as a researcher and in his other guises: as a teacher and public figure, publicist and poet, patriot and family man. The book conveys the atmosphere of scientific research, touches on issues of moral duty, guides the reader through episodes of triumphs and defeats, and gives a voice to many representatives of the school of Yu. M. Ostrovsky. It is addressed to scientists, teachers, graduate students, students of medical and natural science specialties, lovers of biographies of famous people, and everyone who is interested in science.
