«Дело Бронникова» – книга-расследование. Она сложилась из пятитомного следственного дела 1932 года. Среди обвиняемых – переводчик М.Л. Лозинский, лингвист Н.Н. Шульговский, киновед Н.Н. Ефимов, художник В.А. Власов. Но имена других сегодня никому ничего не говорят. Пропали их сочинения, статьи, стихи, записки, письма, даже адреса. А люди эти были очень талантливы: А.В. Рейслер, П.П. Азбелев, А.А. Крюков, М.Н. Ремезов, М.Д. Бронников… – ленинградские литераторы и искусствоведы.
Авторы собирали информацию по крупицам в официальных и частных архивах и пытались увидеть живых людей, стоящих за найденными материалами этого забытого дела.
