This book includes articles written and collected as part of the Shelf project. Created in 2017, the project aimed to identify the most important works of Russian literature. To do this, a large community of experts compiled a list of 108 works that left a mark on history, expanded the possibilities of literature, influenced the development of language, thought and society, said something new about the world and man and entered the Russian literary canon. These are novels, stories, short stories, plays, poems, literary memoirs - from The Tale of Igor's Campaign to Chapayev and Emptiness. The authors tried to write about each of these works clearly and accessibly, relying on extensive scientific and critical literature, place each in a large literary context and talk about other texts that influenced it and were influenced by it.
The first two volumes of this publication included 60 articles on Russian literature from the time of Ancient Rus to 1917.
