The book contains the main addresses associated with the life and work of Boris Pasternak. It is impossible to list them all: Pasternak lived in Moscow for 70 years, this city became an integral part of his fate. Myasnitskaya, Volkhonka, Vozdvizhenka, Mokhovaya, Chistye Prudy, Arbat lanes, Razgulyai and Sokolniki - these are the pages where you can not only read the story of the poet's life, but also feel the atmosphere of his era, and penetrate deeper into the essence of his works.
Walking along the Moscow streets and lanes with this book in your hands, you can turn back time and see how the contours of old Moscow - the city that Boris Pasternak knew and loved - appear through the appearance of the modern capital.
Boris Pasternak is a native Muscovite, his entire life from birth to death is connected with the capital, its streets, lanes, parks, houses of friends and acquaintances, addresses of registration and temporary housing. The city space is a giant stage on which the drama of Pasternak's life with its happy and tragic moments is played out. Moscow toponyms not only designate events in the poet's biography, but also determine the geography of his works, becoming key plot points.
The book about Pasternak's Moscow is compositionally and substantively formed by the poet's "metropolitan addresses". This "Moscow text" allows us to look from a new angle not only at the personality, work and life of Boris Pasternak, but also at old Moscow, which is increasingly receding into the past, and also at an entire era that left a huge mark on history and culture.
The text is complemented by a visual series - rare archival photographs and pictures of the modern appearance of historical buildings.
The publication includes a map of Pasternak's Moscow addresses in the form of a dust jacket-poster.
