In recent years, interest in the life and work of Nikolai Aleksandrovich Lvov has increased. An encyclopedist scientist and architect, he found himself in oblivion for many years. Merits of N.A. Lvov before the national culture are gradually finding their natural recognition. The author, taking materials known on this topic and the latest research, adding information obtained as a result of his archival and expeditionary work, presents essays on the life and creative path of N.A. Lvov, its buildings in Torzhok and a magnificent wreath of monuments of classical art: Arpachevo, Nikolskoye-Cherenchitsy, Vasilevo, Mitino, Znamenskoye-Rayok. Unfortunately, most of his creations are in disrepair and are being destroyed; in some places only the landscape still preserves the memory of existing estates. The publication is richly illustrated and is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian history and culture.
