Alexander Blok strolls through the outskirts of St. Petersburg, drinking wine. Andrei Bely tries to steal Blok's wife. Mikhail Kuzmin suffers from love affairs and poverty. Nikolai Gumilyov goes to Africa to search for the golden door to other worlds. Marina Tsvetaeva studies at the gymnasium and shaves her head. Decadents, mystics, and philosophers write poetry, quarrel, fall in love, and hold séances, while the clouds gather and the world gradually goes mad.

This is the Silver Age, a time of great poetry and amazing stories: sometimes completely idiotic, sometimes tragic, and often both. Maxim Zhegalin's "Drinkers and Harlots" is a documentary novel and a detailed portrait of an entire era: from 1905 to 1921. A portrait congenial to it, full of joy, sadness, and admiration for life.

A new edition with photographs of the book's characters—young, beautiful, and incredible.

The book will be published in hardcover with a ribbon.
