Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  I whanau a Konstantin Paustovsky i Moscow. Ko tana papa, he uri no nga Zaporozhian Cossacks, he kairangahau tereina, a he "romantic kore me te Porotetani". I ahu mai tana whaea i te whanau o te maatauranga Polani. I tipu ake a Konstantin i Ukraine, i tetahi wahi i te tuawhenua, i tetahi wahi i Kiev. I ako ia i te "First Imperial" Gymnasium tawhito o Kiev, i reira ia te hoa o Mikhail Bulgakov. I a ia i te reanga tuaono, ka mahue tana papa i te whanau, a, i kaha ia ki te whakaako takitahi kia whiwhi ai i te oranga. I te tau 1912 ka uru ia ki te whare wananga o te Hītori Taiao i te Whare Wananga o Kiev. I te tau 1914 ka whakawhiti ia ki te kura Ture o te Whare Wānanga o Moscow, engari ko te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao i aukati i tana maatauranga. I te tuatahi i mahi ia hei tangata taraiwa i Moscow, kātahi hei kaiāwhina i roto i te tereina hōhipera. I te tau 1915, ka hoki atu tana roopu hauora puta noa i Polani me Belarus. Whai muri i te matenga o ona tuakana tokorua i te raina mua, ka hoki ia ki tona whaea i Moscow engari i muri mai ka wehe ka haereere, ka whakamatau i ona ringa ki nga mahi maha, i te tuatahi i mahi i nga wheketere whakarewa i Yekaterinoslav (i tenei wa: Dnipro, Ukraine) me Yuzovka (i tenei wa: Donetsk, Ukraine). I te tau 1916 i noho ia ki Taganrog, i mahi ai ia i te Taganrog Boiler Factory (i tenei wa: Krasny Kotelschchik). I muri mai ka uru ia ki tetahi hononga mahi tahi a nga kaihao (artel) i Taganrog, i reira ka tiimata tana pukapuka tuatahi Романтики ("Romantiki", Romantics) i whakaputaina i te 1935. Ko te pukapuka, ko te ihirangi me nga whakaaro e kitea ana i roto i tona taitara, i whakaahuahia e ia nga mea i kite ai ia, i rongo ai i a ia i tona tamarikitanga. Ko tētahi o ngā toa, ko te Oscar tawhito, he kaitoi i ātete i tōna oranga katoa i te mea i akina ia ki te riro hei kaihanga moni. I hoki mai ia ki te kaupapa matua o nga Romantics, te mutunga o te kaitoi e kaha ana ki te wikitoria i tona mokemoke, me ana wheako i Taranrog i nga mahi o muri mai, tae atu ki te Korero mo te ika (<unk>Razgovor o ribe<unk>, Korero mo te Ika), Azovskoe podpolie<unk> (<unk>Azovskoe podpolie<unk>, Azov Underground) me Port v trave<unk> (<unk>Port v trave<unk>, Seaport in The Grass).  Pātai: He aha i whakararu ai i ana akoranga i te Whare Wānanga o Moscow?
