Vladimir Gilyarovsky's classic portrait of the Russian capital is
one of Russians' most beloved books. Yet it has never before been
translated into English. Until now First published in 1926, this
work has been translated into English for the first time and it
positively teems with rich descriptions and vivid anecdotes: * from
the depths of Moscow's sewers to the murky back rooms of its
gambling dens... * from the steam-filled halls of banyas to the
dining rooms of posh restaurants and taverns... * from the lives of
students and waiters to the struggles of market traders and heroic
firemen... Gilyarovsky documents pre-Soviet life in the Russian
capital like no work before or since, and this first-ever English
translation includes 88 historical images, locator maps, an index,
nearly 300 useful footnotes, and a Russian language appendix of all
poems and songs translated in the book.
