The secret life of St. Petersburg monuments. Full ver

Sergey Nosov is a writer, poet, laureate of a number of literary and theater awards (Gogol Award, named after Andrei Tolubeev, the National Bestseller prize, etc), the finalist of the Big Book and "Russian Bouquer". His book is written in the genre of "other local history", but at the same time this is a phenomenon of artistic prose. The enthusiasm, ease of narrative, unique author’s intonation, unobtrusive humor, fresh and unexpected view of things that are not customary to wait for anything interesting - all this is in the new work of Nosov. The heroes of the book are mainly not the most famous, little -known and generally unknown (there are such monuments in St. Petersburg.

In essence, this is not so much about monuments as about us and our history, about what is often called "irony of history", about the oddities of history, its tragedy and originality.
The book is richly illustrated by the original photographs of the author
