Panteleimon Kulish once wrote: "So much of ours has been lying around in other people's houses that not everyone knows whose it was originally. Our neighbours have taken away a lot of our good things, and our ancestors themselves have taken away a lot of them from other people... And God knows when it was ours, "unwanted and not given", but we did not have the protection in our country to hide it all." Among those who were "taken away by the neighbours" is the name of the famous scientist and traveller Nikolai Nickolai Miklouho-Maclay. He is the subject of Ivan Korsak's new novel.
