Everyday life of Pushkin Odessa

This book is equally devoted to Pushkin and Odessa - the city in which the poet spent 13 months of his southern exile and in which many of his works were written or conceived.
Cities, like people, conquer their place in the past and present, becoming part of a great story. From what moment did Odessa enter the domestic culture? How did the love of some deserve the hostility or even the hatred of others? Who served as a refuge and who rejected? On the pages of the new book of the historian and writer Olga Eliseeva, readers will have to meet not only with hot, as “Wolcan”, exiled later, but also with a series of other eminent heroes - from the pirate of Lambro Kachioni and the thieving brave de Ribas to the benefactor of the south of Russia General Vorontsov . The conflict of the latter with Pushkin, which gave rise to many legends, is shown through the eyes of contemporaries, not yet burdened with knowledge of the greatness and genius of the young poet. And Odessa herself is represented not only as a real city, but also as the embodiment of the artistic world, inhabited by many prototypes of Pushkin heroes. And also as a knot of the most acute international and domestic political contradictions - between Russia and Turkey, Greece, Italy and Poland, between the guardians of the empire and its decabbed opponents, between freedom -loving writers and emissaries of secret societies
