The city on the Neva is re -revealed for readers, because the style of information selected by the author is unique: first, a quote from a famous work or memoirs is taken, and Catherine complements it with her fabrications and information from reliable sources, thus introducing her readers to the history of his hometown.
So, the book is the first ... In it we will look into the windows, into which the hero of the “peak lady” observed by the gambling peered, in the hope of penetrating the mysterious house and exploring the cards of the welding old woman. We will find out where Dostoevsky was in a hurry to go home, so that, asking the hostess a candle, shells in his room and continue to create. We read where, to get acquainted with his parents, the young poet Dmitry Merezhkovsky brought his young wife Zinaida Hippius ... But the very building, past, licking and looking out the windows, the fictional heroes of Valentin Pikulya, poor Kournosovs, dreaming of wealth and Admiral glory ... the walls of the old ones The Petersburg houses retained the images of their heroes, real and fictional, and we, after tens and hundreds of years, have only to pull the unsteady thread of time, we will be able to hear their quiet and sonorous, sharp and soft, sad and joyful voices, coming from open windows
