“Letter from the South” is a travelogue about a trip along the Black Sea coast, from Gelendzhik to Adler. Why “Letter”? “Letter” - because its entire text is written in an epistolary vein, where only occasionally the author draws the attention of his addressee to facts and events from the history of the region. The author sees his addressee as a person close to himself in spirit and preferences, who understands all the references and quotes present in the text.
