Here is a book in two parts, united by the theme of wanderings.In the first part there is a diary of a Silver Age stranger's story about a trip to Europe. A special way of thinking, language, and perception of everyday life are perfectly fixed in this fragment of the past and are especially acutely perceived a hundred years later, when life, morals, speech, and perception of the world have changed so much. When, why, why this diary ended up in the actress's house, what is the meaning and mystery of its incompleteness and anonymity — we can only guess.The second part is the travel notes and diaries of Alla Demidova herself, stories about her trips, meetings with interesting people, and work with outstanding directors.The combination of an unnamed text from a century ago with the vivid impressions of our contemporaries not only connects eras torn apart by history, but also makes us look at many places, things, and phenomena that are already familiar and familiar to us in a different way. Time cannot be stopped, but it can be fixed.
