St. Isaac's Cathedral is one of the most amazing buildings in the world. Its construction lasted for forty years (from 1818 to 1858). During this time the Russian Empire was shaken by riots, natural disasters and epidemics, but at the cost of many sacrifices and in spite of the most difficult tests the main Cathedral of the country was built and consecrated.The novel by Irina Izmailova in a fascinating form tells a detailed history of the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral, as well as the biography of its brilliant architect Henri de Montferan, whose life, full of incredible adventures, can eclipse the best pages of books by Alexandre Dumas. Like the cathedral from Ken Follett's novel "Pillars of the Earth", St. Isaac's Cathedral is here the soul of the whole work and serves as a kind of background for the story of love and passion, betrayal and loyalty, a story in which the fates of many people are intertwined. But first and foremost, "Cathedral" is a novel about a genius capable of overcoming all obstacles on the way to his divine goal.
