Vladimir Alekseevich Gilyarovsky is a Russian writer, journalist, local historian, legend of Moscow and its chronicler, author of the famous book "Moscow and Muscovites" (1934), which is undoubtedly the most colorful story of all that has ever been told about this city. For his kindness and responsiveness he was called "Uncle Gilyai", for his talent as a journalist - "the king of reportage". In his articles, essays and memoirs, Gilyarovsky captured the everyday life of Russia in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries: thanks to these invaluable eyewitness accounts, the memory of the past of Moscow, the Moscow region and the Russian provinces has been preserved. This collection includes the memoirs “Friends and Meetings,” in which the author tells in a fascinating and vivid way about his meetings with L. Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gorky, and others, and “People of the Theater” — according to the author, “a story about an actor’s life,” telling about the future celebrities of the Russian stage, whom he met in his youth, during his years of wandering.
