Description

Under one cover are collected two novels by Leo Perutz— for the first time in Russian they are published together: “The Snow of Saint Peter” and “Nights Under the Stone Bridge.” These are two different reading experiences: from a tense mystical investigation to a mosaic cycle of historical novellas—an opportunity to see the full range of the author’s craft.

“ The Snow of Saint Peter” skillfully combines a fantastic-adventure intrigue and a detective story, saturated with historical details. At the center of the plot is the community doctor Georg Friedrich Amberg: he comes to Baron von Malchin to try out a mysterious medicine and soon finds himself drawn into a strange and dangerous chain of events.

“ Nights Under the Stone Bridge” is a novel of fourteen stories that strangely echo one another and gradually come together into a single whole. What unites them is the setting—sixteenth-century Prague, a city that, alongside its inhabitants, turns into one of the main characters.
