For the first time since 1926, Vladimir Gilyarovsky's famous book "Moscow and Muscovites" is published in the original author's version.
This work is one of the most precious repositories of the memory of the past of the Russian capital. No other chronicler has such a vivid, vivid description of the slums and flea markets full of rare treasures, seedy taverns and luxurious restaurants of the 70-80s of the century before last - the time when the author had the opportunity to visit these places a lot, meet and communicate with their colorful inhabitants and regulars.
Getting acquainted with the original version of this book will give new impressions, richer in comparison with those that arise when reading its version, considered canonical.
The book is supplied with a dictionary of slang words and expressions, as well as a large number of illustrations: archival photographs, drawings from periodicals, works of fine art capturing the types and scenes of nature that is gone forever.
