Pushkin’s childhood and Turgenev’s youth passed there. Baratynsky realized his unexpected architectural abilities there. The best Russian writers wrote, walked, fished and met friends there. Philologist and writer Vladimir Novikov prepared a kind of guide to 26 «literary» estates: from Pushkin’s Mikhailovsky and Lermontov’s Tarkhan to Gumilyov’s Slepnev and Nabokov’s Rozhdestveno. In fact, we have before us a «literary excursion» — from the Golden Age to the Silver Age — with many textbook facts and non-textbook legends, with love stories and everyday anecdotes. These concise sketches will be especially interesting and useful for lovers of «weekend travel». After all, the estates of Russian writers are still the best routes for such trips.
