Petersburg! What glory this city is covered with! For hundreds of years it has captivated poets with its fogs and winds, courtyards-wells and granite shores. ‘The city of fogs and dreams,’ a habitat for shadows of the past and images of the future, hiding in the arches. The city of uncertain lights and heavy, cloudy skies: a strange and inspiring northern capital. The collection ‘Russian Poets about St. Petersburg’ includes the best poems about the city on the Neva - from those widely known to the domestic reader, to those that have remained half-forgotten to this day. Touch the mysteries and hopes of St. Petersburg and, together with Russian poets, walk through its amazing streets - page by page.
