（重定向自Extracurricular Reading）
Nicholas Fandorin is the protagonist of four novels by Boris Akunin, subtitled Приключения магистра "adventures of the magister [viz., 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).
