The secret life of St. Petersburg monuments. Full version. Nosov S.

Sergey Nosov - a writer, poet, laureate of a number of literary and theater awards (Gogol Award, named after Andrei Tolubeev, the National Bestseller Award, 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 narration, a unique author’s intonation, unobtrusive humor, a fresh and unexpected look at things that are not accepted 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. All of them “live” with life tense and hidden from an unprepared observer, often making contact with people and the environment. Essentially, this is a book not so much about monuments as about us and our history, about what is often called the "irony of history", about the oddities of history, its tragedy and originality.

The book is richly illustrated by the original photographs of the author.
