Ступай и не греши. Париж на три часа. Звезды над болотом

Three novels included in the book are connected only by the time of action - the 19th century. The first - "Go and Sin No More" - is a short novel based on the sensational case of the murder by the Simferopol petty bourgeois Olga Palem of her lover. The second - "Paris for Three Hours" - is about the daring conspiracy of French General Malet, who attempted to overthrow the imperial authority in Paris in 1812 after the defeat of Napoleon's army in Russia. The third - "Stars over the Swamp" - is a factual narrative about the lives of political exiles (the late 1860s) in the wild polar wilderness: in the city of Pinega, on the edge of the tundra, where glimpses of new relationships between people suddenly flare up.
