The author, famous literary critic and expert in literature, surveys Russian poetry of the edge
of XIX–XX centuries at a strange angle: how the spread of exotic plants in Europe had influenced the changes in art styles and had provoked the modernism in literature. O. Kushlina tends to look at domestic plants as universal indicators of common overview of beautiful. This leads to a notion that the total change of domestic plants on window-sills leads to certain mutations in art.
