The never-before-told story of the journey behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN, now in
print for the first time. From the author of the celebrated, internationally
bestselling BRONZE HORSEMAN saga comes a glimpse into the private life of its
much loved creator, and the real story behind the epic novels. Paullina Simons
gives us a work of non-fiction as captivating and heart-wrenching as the lives
of Tatiana and Alexander. Only a few chapters into writing her first story set
in Russia, her mother country, Paullina Simons travelled to Leningrad (now St
Petersburg) with her beloved Papa. What began as a research trip turned into
six days that forever changed her life, the course of her family, and the
novel that became THE BRONZE HORSEMAN. After a quarter-century away from her
native land, Paullina and her father found a world trapped in yesteryear, with
crumbling stucco buildings, entire families living in seven-square-metre
communal apartments, and barren fields bombed so badly that nothing would grow
there even fifty years later. And yet there were the spectacular white nights,
the warm hospitality of family friends and, of course, the pelmeni and caviar.
At times poignant, at times inspiring and funny, this is both a fascinating
glimpse into the inspiration behind the epic saga, and a touching story of a
family's history, a father and a daughter, and the fate of a Nation.

El gran deseo de Tully desde los diecisiete años era una pura contradicción: soñaba con no soñar. Quizá porque su vida estaba forjada a golpes de carencia y ella sabía mejor que nadie lo que significaba desear: desear lo que no se tiene, lo que se ha perdido, lo que se anheló un día, lo que es de otros. Y el deseo nunca viene solo. Goza siempre de la compañía de la enajenación, es egoísta, tozudo y, sobre todo, proporciona tanta alegría como dolor. "El sueño imposible" es la historia de un viaje del que nadie se salva, el azaroso recorrido que lleva de la infancia a la madurez. En el caso de Tully los riesgos del viaje se incrementan porque el punto de salida, su infancia, es una jungla; ella pretende que su destino sea todo lo contrario, un estanque en paz. Y está decidida a que su vida no sea un viaje organizado en el que todo está previsto. Su empeño por escoger el rumbo, por decidir libremente en cada encrucijada cuál es el camino a seguir, la lleva por derroteros que, en más de una ocasión, se acercan con peligro al acantilado.
