This book is like a dear old friend telling you his story. The author described his growth experience and love for art and literature with delicate writing style, which made me feel the emotional fluctuations in his heart. I like the part in the book about his interactions with famous literary and artistic figures. The collision of those thoughts is fascinating. "Art is the mirror of life", this sentence impressed me deeply and made me believe even more in the power of art. This autobiography is not only the author's personal memories, but also a tour of Russian culture, which is worth reading.
