History of St. Petersburg mansions. At home and people. Ivanov A.A.

The book of Anatoly Andreevich Ivanov tells the story of St. Petersburg mansions. More precisely, they were mansions to the past, and today most often these are ordinary houses that retained traces of former splendor. Some buildings, alas, have disappeared from the city map. The pages contain stories about ancient buildings, which can be called genuine clots of history. It is exciting about remarkable buildings and their inhabitants, courtiers, merchants, representatives of creative professions, because the fate of houses is inseparable from the fate of people living here. Forgotten and half -forgotten names are resurrected, and a violated connection of times is restored.

You will read about real events, legends and secrets of the past North Palmyra. Traveling with the author in St. Petersburg streets and alleys will allow you to feel the poetry of antiquity, to feel the close connection of the past with the present.
