Moscow and Muscovites

"Moscow and Muscovites" by V. A. Gilyarovsky is a unique work that tells in an engaging way about the life of Muscovites in the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The past appears before... the readers in all its diversity: in splendor and poverty, in joy and sorrow.
The famous chronicler Gilyarovsky does not overlook any aspect of life in Moscow: there are noisy celebrations and quiet walks along shady boulevards, luxurious shops and dirty dangerous slums, carriages and the first trams.
The text by V. A. Gilyarovsky is accompanied by interesting notes from old newspapers and magazines, curious memories of contemporaries, photographs, and works of painting, so that the reader can fully feel the atmosphere of that amazing time.
