The Engineering Castle is a real building that still exists. It remains one of the most sought-after landmarks in St. Petersburg, and it is steeped in legend, ghost stories, and lore every bit as much as Nikolai Leskov makes it sound.

It is difficult to combine mysticism with humor, but Alexander Grin takes on the challenge and comes out with flying colors.
