Nicholas Fandorin is the protagonist of four novels by Boris Akunin, subtitled "adventures of the magister (the MA )". The uniting concept of the series is that each novel combines two storylines, one set in present-day Russia (in 1995 to 2005), and a related one set in the Tsarist Russia (in the 1670s, 1790s, and 1860s). *2001: ''Altyn Tolobas'' (1995, 1675–76), ISBN 5-7654-1820-1, ISBN 5-224-02898-1 *2003: ''Extracurricular Reading'' (2001, 1795), ISBN 5-224-04023-X, ISBN 5-224-04022-1, ISBN 5-224-04021-3 *2006: ''F.M.'' (2006, 1865), ISBN 5-224-01638-X *2009: ''The Falcon and the Swallow'' (2009, 1702) ==Altyn Tolobas== Nicholas is the grandson of Erast Fandorin, born in ca. 1960. His father was Alexander Fandorin (1920–1994), born in British exile where his pregnant mother had fled from the Russian Civil War. Nicholas has a master's degree in history, specializing in the 19th century history of the Russian Empire, and (in ''Altyn Tolobas'') visits the land of his ancestors for the first time in 1995, after the fall of the Soviet Union, tracing the founder of the Russian Fandorins, a Swabian musketeer ''Cornelius von Dorn'' who took service with the Tsar in 1675, and died in the 1682 Moscow uprising, nine generations removed from Nicholas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholas Fandorin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
