The book is dedicated to the history of eleven of the richest and most influential merchant families of St. Petersburg in the 19th and 20th centuries, related to each other by kinship: the Eliseevs, the Tselibeevs, the Polezhaevs, the Tarasovs, the Ovsyannikovs, the Smurovs, the Rasteryaevs, the Durdins, the Lelyanovs, the Novinskys, the Averins. Based on deep archival research, the author for the first time traces the fates of outstanding people, their contribution to charity and patronage. In addition to the story about the most famous representatives of these families, whose names are well known, the book also tells about the fates of their relatives, who lived their lives no less interestingly and meaningfully. The book is provided with genealogical charts of the families mentioned.

The publication contains many old little-known photographs, most of them published for the first time.
