In Rostov-on-Don, one of the most original monuments is the book monument, located near the Public Library at the intersection of Pushkinskaya Street and Universitetsky Lane. This monument looks like a huge open book, but instead of text on its pages, there is lawn and live flowers. It is truly a unique piece of art with an interesting idea and concept, unmatched in Russia or beyond. The monument symbolizes life emanating from the book and serves as a great reminder of the importance of reading for the development of both the individual and society as a whole.
