About 
The Sirens of the Hotel Louvre . 
.
Combining history and biography,
 
The Sirens of the Hotel Louvre
 
focuses on the intimate relationship and professional collaboration between two creative women in Russia's Silver Age (1880s–1920).
 The actress Lidia Yavorskaya and the writer Tatiana Shchepkina-Kupernik overcame moral and social boundaries to assert themselves as successful artists. Their lives intersected with practically all the major theatrical entrepreneurs and artists of the period in Moscow and St. Petersburg, most notably Anton Chekhov.
The opening in the 1880s of private theaters in Moscow and St. Petersburg resulted in an extraordinary flourishing of the dramatic arts, exposing theatergoers to the latest works by both Russian and Western European playwrights. In 
The Sirens of the Hotel Louvre
, Yavorskaya and Shchepkina-Kupernik serve as guides to this remarkable artistic and literary world. Serge Gregory shows how their success in fashioning independent careers reflects the emergence of the theater as one of the few professional paths available for educated women in nineteenth-century Russia who wished to escape the constraints of traditional family life.
Serge Gregory
 
is the author of 
Antosha & Levitasha: The Shared Lives and Art of Anton Chekhov and Isaac Levitan
. He has contributed chapters to two books: Chekhov’s Letters and Chekhov in Context. Gregory has also curated two evenings of staged readings at ACT Theatre as part of the Great Soul of Russia series organized by Seattle’s Seagull Project. His two-act play Sweet Lika, based on the correspondence between Anton Chekhov and Lidia Minizinova, premiered at ACT in June 2017. Gregory has a PhD in Russian Language and Literature from the University of Washington.
Douglas Smith 
is an award-winning historian and translator and the author of 
Rasputin
 and 
Former People
, which was a bestseller in the U.K. His books have been translated into a dozen languages. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, he has written for 
The New York Times
 and 
Wall Street Journal
 and has appeared in documentaries with the BBC, National Geographic, and Netflix. Before becoming a historian, he worked for the U.S. State Department in the Soviet Union and as a Russian affairs analyst for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. He lives with his family in Seattle.

놀라운 해산물과 즐거운 분위기! 샌프란시스코를 떠올리게 해요. 가장 좋은 부분은 거리 공연자들을 보는 것이었어요! Motley Cr&uuml;의 Dr. Feel good에 맞춰 드럼을 치는 여성을 만났는데 정말 멋졌어요! 해산물 상인 4명과 함께 오이스터 슈터를 먹었고, 맛있는 훈제 연어를 샀어요. 거리를 걷다가 따뜻한 초콜릿 칩 쿠키 위에 얇게 썬 바다 소금을 얹은 곳을 우연히 발견했어요. 맛있었어요! 마지막으로 터키식 런 매장이 있었는데, 그 여성이 선물에 대한 훌륭한 조언을 해주었고 제가 먹어본 바클라바 중 가장 맛있는 것을 줬어요.
