Old houses are witnesses of destinies. They keep many stories. And if you’re ready to listen, then, without a doubt, they have something to tell you.
37 houses, 37 different stories and intertwined fates—happiness and grief, success and oblivion, birth and death. In this book, St. Petersburg in all its variety “speaks” to readers through the voices of its inhabitants, bringing them into a world usually hidden from outsiders’ eyes. The book is based on diaries, works of fiction, journalism, and archival materials. Inside you will find both modern photographs of facades and historical photographs, as well as illustrations.
This time, you will travel through time and learn:
• the fate of Alexander Pushkin’s daughter, who became the model for Anna Karenina;
• you will witness Dmitry Shostakovich’s triumph;
• you will experience the voice and fear of besieged Leningrad together with a little girl waiting for her mother;
• you will visit evenings with the first evangelists and admire the legendary malachite room;
• you will listen to Marlene Dietrich’s performance along with Paustovsky and others.
