Анекдоты о русских писателях, приписывавшиеся Даниилу Хармсу, были одним из самых популярных текстов советского самиздата.

Долгие годы их подлинные авторы, иллюстрации и настоящая история оставалась неизвестными. В данном издании впервые собраны подлинная рукопись с авторскими рисунками, история создания, литературные и искусствоведческие комментарии, а также интервью...

Петр Дерябин более десяти лет состоял на службе в НКВД-МГБ, в правительственной охране.

Это не путеводитель и не исторический очерк. Это – биография. Питер Акройд описал все черты Лондона, будь они прекрасны или отвратительны. Кровожадность толпы и пестрота ярмарок, независимость лондонцев, которых опасались даже короли, и вонь трущоб, которые сохранились даже в XXI веке. История баров и история театров, великие пожары и великие туманы. Запах Лондона, шум Лондона, цвет Лондона – всё смешалось под мастерским пером Питера Акройда.
