Reading Ticket. Literary Journey through the World of Domestic Bookworms, Booksellers, and Bibliophiles

This book is an exciting journey into the world of Russian literature, where the main character is the book itself. In the anthology by Yulia Shcherbinina, a variety of stories are collected: from realistic sketches to mystical novellas, from satirical... scenes to touching childhood memories. The five sections of the anthology will tell about the role the book played in the lives of different social strata, how the book trade worked, where whole fortunes were paid for rare editions, and what legends gave books a mystical aura. The anthology features both well-known Russian authors of the 19th-20th centuries (I. Goncharov, A. Chekhov, A. Kuprin, M. Gorky) and lesser-known writers whose works are also full of charm.
