Requiem of Last Love

Valentin Pikul's historical miniatures are a unique phenomenon in contemporary domestic literature, vividly demonstrating the writer's unparalleled talent. Each of the miniatures, according to the author, "is also a historical novel, only compressed to a small amount". The miniatures included in this edition represent a gallery of brilliant portraits of women and other colorful personalities who left their mark in history from the 16th to the early 20th century.
