Literary essays about the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and the siege of Leningrad, written in the beautiful language of classical prose by Olga Nikolayevna Rodshtein, are unique in their content and make the reader go through the temptations and agony of the siege famine together with her. Unlike many diaries of the participants of the events and memories of that time, recorded by the descendants of the blockade survivors, Olga Rodshtein's essays have no false pathos, no desire to somehow embellish or, on the contrary, to denigrate people and events in which she had to participate.
She lives in her essays real life as a contemporary of the besieged city, recording events as they happen. The first part devoted to the "House of Books" - the place of her work - through brief characterizations of the people passing in front of the counter unusually vividly shows the city at the moment of the beginning of the war.
This is the "Diary of the counter", the serenity of which is abruptly cut short by the word "Blockade", which became the title of the second part. It is here that we meet both the courage and the pain of the city's inhabitants through concrete examples of diary entries about the blockade life through the prism of personality, made with a fountain pen, not only classical in form, but also meeting the literary taste of the reading public of that time. And we experience the described events together with the author.
