The selection of various publications and other sources from the beginning of the previous century is commented in detail and allows to present the Northern Capital in an unexpected and unusual perspective, to learn about the life and manners of that time, to learn how the citizens lived, to see all the versatility of life in the big city, where luxury neighboring with ugly poverty. What did the citizens of St. Petersburg think and dream about? What dreams, plans and hopes did they build? What secret fatal passions possessed them? What idols were worshipped and who were unrestrainedly censured, overthrown from pedestals? What, finally, was the city at the time, which today is usually spoken of with a gasp? After reading the book, you will learn a lot of interesting things and will be able to draw striking parallels between the mores of that era and our time.
