Fazil Iskander. The poet (№ 311670)

In Anglo-Saxon literature a lot of works where the characters compete in generosity. For example, "East and West" Kipling. In our literature, something I can not remember these heroes. We have a great, noble heroes, but they are not competing with anyone in the nobility, they are always alone.
Maybe the fact that in our history there was no chivalry? Itching to write a poem about the competition two people in the nobility. But I can't find the story.
