Description
About a mysterious Russian soul, the city on the Neva—and moving from a popular foreign blogger.
The author of this audiobook is Craig Ashton, who escaped from his native gloomy Manchester more than 15 years ago to sunny Saint Petersburg. Before his escape, he knew that in Russia everyone eats soup made from cabbage and potatoes, that tanks drive across Red Square every day, and that people on the streets smile only on their birthday. But once he arrived in the city on the Neva, he fell in love—either with smelt fish, or with the Russian bathhouse, or with the FMS, or with Masyanya, or with “Careful, doors are closing”—in short, he fell in love with us—just as you and I.
Today Craig is a popular blogger and a successful English teacher, who believes the main mission of his life is to “dive deeper and deeper into language in search of linguistic secrets and treasures.”
