> ||much to honour the writer but the book and it's characters. Similarly
> ||in Yalta there is a sculptural composition called Lady with a lapdog

> ||working on a book about such things in which not the author but

> ||if someone can lead me to similar stories. The characters need not be
> ||from fictional narratives only. I would love to know if characters from a novel/film/play/tv serial have found a monument dedicated to them.
