You are holding in your hands a new book in the series by Boris Akunin (Grigory Chkhartishvili) “Love of History”. You will have a fascinating walk with the Author through the Parisian catacombs and through cities that are rapidly changing their appearance. You will find out whether genius is inherited, how the best ideas are born and how masterpieces die. You have many amazing discoveries ahead: a real writer and a real princess, a real smart woman and genuine heroes of her time, not made-up stories about a gray wolf and... not a fairy-tale Dragon at all. The Russia that we have lost, and the Russia that is not yet lost. We don’t think that history is the past, do we?
