Locations from "Crime and Punishment"novel - part 6
Yusupov Garden.
I've a;ready been to many places/locations from the novel, so this time I visited some less famous places (not like the Marmeladova's house, or Raskolnikov's house).
Therefore, today it's Yusupov Garden. Founded in 1790s. This place was mentioned several times in the novel:
"Tomorrow evening I'll take him for an outing!” Razumikhin decided. “To the Yusupov Garden, and then we'll go to the Palais de Cristal.”
.
"...Listen, they say Berg is going to fly in a huge balloon from the Yusupov Garden on Sunday, and is inviting people to go with him for a certain fee—is it true?”
“Why, would you go and fly?”
(Berg was the owner of amusement attractions in Petersburg. Known as "the famous Petersburg aeronaut," he was often mentioned in newspapers during the mid-1860s)
.
"He [Raskolnikov] was even occupied at that moment with certain unrelated thoughts, though not for long. Passing the Yusupov Garden, he even became much absorbed in the notion of setting up tall fountains, and of how they would freshen the air in all the public squares."
.
(F. Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment)
