This question and answer book is not a "short course" in the history of Odessa and not a "book for extracurricular reading." (Maybe this is closest to historical and everyday essays - essays on customs and morals). Entirely based on reliable information, it is still a continuation of the legend of old Odessa, about ancient times, when, as they say, the sun shone brighter and the sky was bluer. We confess honestly, there are not 100 questions yet. However, do not be in a claim: ask us your own - and we will answer in the next edition with possible thoroughness and care. Because 1000 questions and answers will not fully explain the mysterious Odessa phenomenon.
