About this product
Art. : 324-143

The book "Moscow and Muscovites" is not just a literary work, but a real encyclopedia of Russian life at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, created by the outstanding writer and journalist Vladimir Alekseevich Gilyarovsky. His lively style, filled with warmth and wit, reproduces the pulsating life of old Moscow — from noisy alleys to quiet manors, from colorful markets to theatrical stages. Each line breathes history, turning the book into a genuine work of art that is worth not just reading, but rereading over and over again, discovering new facets.

The high-quality leather binding with gold embossing and ornate ornaments turns the book into a real decoration for any library. The cover features a portrait of the author against the backdrop of ancient Moscow, an image that immediately sets you up to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a bygone era. The finely crafted details of the design, the noble sheen of gold and the deep colors create a sense of uniqueness and elitism. This book does not just convey the content, it visually and tactilely emphasizes its value.

The illustrations included in the publication deserve special attention. Rare archival images, lithographs and watercolors come to life on the pages, transporting the reader to the heart of the ancient city. They not only complement the text, but also become an independent work of art, visualizing scenes of Moscow life — be it a fair, a tavern or famous Moscow shops. Each illustration comes to life on thick, high-quality paper, which gives a sense of an authentic touch to the story.

The plots collected by Gilyarovsky are an amazing combination of witty stories, touching stories and in—depth observations of the mores and way of life of Muscovites. The author delicately intertwines the cheerful and the sad, creating a multi-layered portrait of a city in which grandeur and modesty, luxury and simplicity coexist. This is a book about Moscow, where dignified gentlemen strolled, merchants had fun, janitors bustled and poets secretly loved. It's about how dreams lived in Moscow alleys, and legends were born in the markets.

"Moscow and Muscovites" is a gift not only for connoisseurs of Russian literature, but also for those who are looking for a connection with history, seeking to feel the rhythm of a bygone time and be inspired by its eternal beauty. This edition will become a vivid symbol of refined taste, an excellent decoration for an interior or library collection, as well as a cherished memory of Moscow's great past.
