Irina Nikolaevna Medvedeva-Tomashevskaya (1903-1973) - literary critic, wife of Pushkin's Boris Viktorovich Tomashevsky. Crimea was a favorite vacation spot of the family of Tomaszewski, but Pushkin is Central to their lives a poet. The book 'Tavrida: terrestrial Elysium' combines science and poetry: essays based on documentary materials about the history of the Peninsula from the 1760s to the 1830s and a description of Pushkin's journey through the Crimea. The publication is supplemented by letters from Dmitry Likhachev.'Some things are still difficult to explain. How could these family ARKS survive amid the totalitarian turmoil that has become the backdrop of everyday life? In life, as in literature, understanding comes through the details: they wore dinners, recited "Eugene Onegin”, called each other "You". They wrote decent books. The reader is offered one of them'.Eugene Vodolazkin
