The new work of the famous writer and expert on the St. Petersburg city folklore N.A. Sindalovsky is dedicated to the history of the main highway of St. Petersburg - Nevsky Prospekt. This book is not only about modern Neva, but also about architectural structures and social institutions that existed on the avenue and next to it, but, alas, disappeared from the city map. About projects that were not implemented for various reasons, about the heroes and characters of urban mythology, one way or another associated with the avenue.
The book will allow not only to find out the facts, names and dates from the more than 300 -year history of Nevsky Prospekt, but also to look at them through the prism of the St. Petersburg city folklore - legends and traditions, proverbs and sayings, ditties and jokes, unofficial names, and abbreviations having an accurate architectural, historical, toponymic or geographical address. The amount of folklore preserved in the total memory of Petersburgers is amazing. It not only does not contradict official historiography, but decorates it, makes it brighter and more expressive. The author invites the reader to walk with this book on Nevsky Prospekt, sensitively to listen to the voice of urban mythology, carefully read folklore texts and concentrate on his assessments and comments. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, everyone who is interested and loved by Petersburg
