New

«Voices from the Windows: Petersburg. Stories about Outstanding People and the Houses They Lived In» — an exemplary book about Petersburg, where the memory of others comes to life and is perceived as personal experience.

From the very first pages, you... become a witness to secret events that took place within the walls of Petersburg's houses — intimate episodes from the lives of outstanding individuals. However, you are not merely an observer — you are now a guest in each of these houses.

— Climb the black staircase of the house on Malaya Morskaya to visit Gogol, as Pushkin did.
— Admire the view of Nevsky Prospect from the windows of the house where Tchaikovsky lived and gossiped with his best friend — patron Nadezhda von Meck.
— Stroll with Anna Akhmatova through the alleys of the Fountain House garden, where the poetess wrote «Requiem».

Explore the touching retellings of these and other scenes from the life of Petersburg society in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries penned by Ekaterina Kubryakova, a novelist and diploma holder of the Antsiferov Prize (for contributions to modern Petersburg local lore).
