1724: An Almost-Detective Story Told by a Youth of the Petrine Era in the Pages of His Diary

Mikhail Loginov’s novel transports the reader to early eighteenth-century Russia, where an enthralling detective story unfolds through the eyes of a young protagonist. Stylized as the diary entries of a youth from the Petrine era, the narrative immerses the reader in the atmosphere of historical change sweeping the country following the death of Peter the Great. The author masterfully blends historical reality with a gripping plot, allowing readers not only to follow the investigation, but also to experience the everyday life, customs, and culture of the time.
