аннотация
In these finely wrought tales set in the waning decades of Imperial Russia, the reader is drawn into a world of shadowed ateliers and candlelit salons, of dancers and muses, of gypsy fires and clandestine auctions, where beauty is currency and longing walks hand in hand with ruin. With quiet sorrow and sensual precision, this volume unveils the private dusk of a vanished world — intimate, unadorned, and achingly human.
