About the book: year / This book tells about the ancient Russian city, Torzhok. Its author, an eighty-year-old teacher and local historian A. A. Suslov, collected the most interesting historical and modern material about his native city. This unique guide does not pretend to be an exhaustive coverage of the multifaceted life of Torzhok; its main attention is paid to the memorable places of the city. Centuries-old Torzhok has become younger these days: it has joined the group of cities lying on the new tourist route leading to the “golden health resort” - Lake Seliger. Therefore, our book will be of interest to everyone who loves their region..
