<p>The Erast Fandorin series by Boris Akunin describes adventures of a Russian sleuth named Erast Pietrovich Fandorin who lives at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century. The series belongs to detective story genre. The nephrite rosary, which consists of twenty-five beads, is mentioned for the first time in <em>The Jack of Spades</em> and plays a very significant role in most novels of the series. It is not a typical tool of religious worship or meditation, but it helps Erast Pietrovich to concentrate and to solve difficult problems. What is more, it seems to be haunted by the past. It embodies a lot of historical, legendary and spiritual energy. Being an object, a symbol and a carrier of the past, the nephrite rosary has a limited range when it comes to collective memory, because only well-educated people from the higher social classes are able to recognise the meaning of this legendary object and to perceive its importance, therefore it cannot be considered a typical <em>lieu de memoire</em> (place of memory), as understood by Pierre Nora. The aim of Monika Kowalska’s paper <em>The Nephrite Rosary as a Carrier of Historical Memory in the „Erast Fandorin” series by Boris Akunin </em>is, therefore, twofold. It analyzes the historical meaning and significance of the nephrite rosary within the eponymous series as well as presents Akunin’s inspirations and play with the worldhistory.</p>
