Это повесть в городском стиле, наверное, потому как о городе . Здесь есть загадки, немного мистики и подворотни Москвы, а также еще много чего родного и любимого. В романе главным героем является сам город Москва. Это семь историй о городе и о людях в нем. Если вы любите Москву, то наслаждайтесь чтением. Все описания основаны на реальных событиях. А название? Название просто немного осовременная Москва. Город меняется, это же не статично застывшая вещь. В связи с этим в этом романе название было бы уместным поставить в конце, что автором и будет проделано .
The course of history is determined not by battles, by sieges, or usurpations, but by the actions of the individual. The strongest city, the largest army is, at its most basic level, a collection of individuals. Their decisions, their passions, their foolishness, and their dreams shape the years to come. If there is any lesson to be learned from history, it is that all too often the fate of armies, of cities, of entire realms rests upon the actions of one person. In that dire moment of uncertainty, that person's decision, good or bad, right or wrong, big or small, can unwittingly change the world. But history can be quite the slattern. One never knows who that person is, where he might be, or what decision he might make. It is almost enough to make me believe in Destiny. From the writings of Gaius Primus First Lord of Albra
