Fascinatingly described adventures of a modest employee, who, by the will of fate, found himself in the whirlpool of the Civil War: cards, femme fatales, drugs, cunning trading operations, mysticism... Semyon Ivanovich Nevzorov “... is waiting for an opportunity to carry out a short and successful operation with a high-currency commodity... and escape to Europe". “Russia is a bad place, so common sense told him. It will all be plundered and stripped down to the skin... You need to hurry and grab your piece..." The story "The Adventures of Nevzorov, or Ibicus" (1924) is one of the best works about white emigration.
