Once upon a time in Moscow... Lermontov, Gogol, Chekhov, and Tolstoy.

The Moscow life of four great Russian writers - Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, and Leo Tolstoy - is the subject of this fascinating book. Not all of them were Muscovites by birth, but they became such thanks to their continuous connection with the capital, to which they dedicated many pages of their remarkable works. We will learn where exactly in Moscow these outstanding writers lived and worked, what they were engaged in, and what they wrote. And in which works they reflected the life and existence of Moscow.
Alexander Vaskin's new book can be compared to a guide to different historical epochs, as the works of each of the listed writers are an undeniable contribution to world literature.
