In his second book, Savva Libkin invites you to experience the unique flavor of different Odesa neighborhoods with him: start at Privoz, walk down Bazarna, turn to Yevreiska and Deribasovska, and stand in the shade on Myasoidovska, on the legendary Moldovanka.
For each of the places he has stories with details known only to native Odessans, and not to everyone.

Fables and anecdotes about the olivier salad brought to Odesa by Richelieu himself, about a live elephant that escaped from the zoo and walked along Fruit Row, or about the writer Babel, who learned about the gangland showdowns on Moldovanka from his grandmother's stories, are all fascinating reading in themselves, worthy of the best examples of Odesa prose by Babel or Zhvanetsky.
