St. Isaac's Cathedral is one of the most amazing buildings in the world. Its construction lasted for forty years (from 1818 to 1858). During this time, the Russian Empire was shaken by riots, natural disasters and epidemics, but at the cost of many victims and despite the hardest trials, the main Cathedral of the country was built and consecrated.Irina Izmailova's novel tells in a fascinating way the detailed history of the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral, as well as the biography of its brilliant architect Henri de Montferrand, whose life full of incredible adventures can overshadow the best pages of Alexander Dumas ' books.Like the cathedral from Ken Follett's novel "Pillars of the Earth", St. Isaac's Cathedral is here the soul of the whole work and serves as a kind of background for the story of love and passion, betrayal and loyalty, a story in which the fates of many people are intertwined. But first of all, "The Cathedral" is a novel about a genius who is able to overcome all obstacles on the way to his Divine goal.
