Отчий дом
С творчеством Евгения Николаевича Чирикова (1864–1932), «писателя чеховского типа», как оценивали его современники, нынешний читатель смог познакомиться лишь недавно. Имя художника, не принявшего Октябрь 1917 г. и вынужденного эмигрировать, в советское время замалчивалось, его книги практически не издавались. В своем самом масштабном произведении, хронике-эпопее «Отчий дом», автор воссоздает панораму общественной, политической и духовной жизни России последних десятилетий XIX и начала XX столетия. Эта книга заметно выделяется среди произведений схожей тематики других литераторов русского зарубежья. В течение многих лет писатель готовил исчерпывающий ответ на вопрос о том, что же привело Россию к пропасти, почему в основание ее будущего были положены тела невинных, а скрепили этот фундамент обман и предательство новоявленных пророков.
