The Golden Age. Voices from Forgotten Apartments. Where and How Writers Lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg
14.99 €
This book is a unique guide to the forgotten literary addresses of Moscow and St. Petersburg, a guide with "essays in hand" about the unusual, happy, and tragic destinies of Russian writers.
From street to street, from house to house, from the entrance—and all the way to the rooftop—you'll follow the author through dozens, hundreds of suddenly animated buildings where outstanding poets and prose writers lived and created, fell in love and broke up, quarreled and made up, feasted and suffered. And then, as if from a fog, like transfers from childhood, familiar neighborhoods, alleys, houses, and even courtyards will suddenly appear in a new, fantastical, previously unseen form—personally and only for you! Believe me, there's such a mysterious effect to the "history of stories" of literature.
The volume you hold in your hands is the first of three that will explore the great eras of our literature—the writers of the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the current one, which could also be called the Bronze Age. And finally, may you have wonderful walks, dear readers!
