During his life, Vsevolod Krestovsky wrote many short stories, essays, novels, and novels. This was enough for a collection of works in eight volumes, published after the writer's death. But fame and success Krestovsky, of course, brought the novel "Petersburg Slums". He was not just read, he was read out. Speaking in modern terms, the novel became a real bestseller of Russian literature of the second half of the XIX century. Especially struck and interested contemporaries open Krestovsky St. Petersburg - St. Petersburg slums: readers even made collective excursions to the places described in the novel: inns, moneylenders' shops, embankments of the Neva and the Krukov Canal, etc. Krestovsky managed to organically combine the traditions of everyday prose with an adventurous plot, which intertwined the fates of characters belonging to the most diverse social groups - from representatives of the upper classes, to beggars and thieves. In short, the whole of St. Petersburg, brilliant and criminal.
