Аннотация
In 1909, the poet and translator Fedor Fidler (Friedrich Fiedler) curated a collection of short autobiographies from various contemporary Russian writers. However, not all of the autobiographies submitted to him were included in the final 1911 volume First Literary Steps. Notably absent from this publication is the contribution of the prose writer and journalist Vasilii Nemirovich-Danchenko (1845-1936). Recently unearthed, this previously unpublished text is presented and analyzed here for the first time.
