14.99 €
Lake Geneva is not only a picturesque corner of Europe with clear water and majestic mountains surrounding it, but also a place rich in history. Over the centuries, this region has become home to representatives of different nationalities and cultures, including Russian writers, artists, and musicians.
On the shores of Lake Geneva, Tchaikovsky wrote his famous violin concerto, and Scriabin completed work on the Divine Poem. Here, Gogol worked on Dead Souls, and Dostoevsky on his novel The Idiot.
But not only cultural figures were attracted to Lake Geneva with its picturesque landscapes. Herzen, Plekhanov, Lenin lived here for years, Vera Zasulich and Gapon came here, the editorial office of the Iskra newspaper settled here, and the overthrow of the monarchy in Russia was prepared here.
All this is told in the new book by Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev). Written in simple and accessible language, it will be of interest to anyone interested in Russian culture and history.
