Download or read book In Joyful Russia written by John A. Logan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Joyful Russia This book is neither a social tract, a political or economic study, nor a guide-book. It is the record of a thoroughly delightful trip to a country which to me, at least, had all the charm of the unknown. I have tried to chronicle as graphically as lay within my untried powers the impressions I received, the gorgeous pageants I saw; and if my views of Russian conditions seem rose-coloured to some of my readers, let them remember that I saw the country in holiday attire; but let them also remember that a country of unmitigated gloom, such as others have pictured Russia to be, has never existed on the face of the globe, and never can exist. My experiences were gathered among all classes of people and over a large stretch of territory - from the Holy City to Helsingfors and beyond. Wherever I went, I found the same splendid national qualities, the same unity of character, ay, and the same content with the powers that be, which make Russia not merely a vast geographical term, but a great and mighty nation. If I succeed in giving my readers but a part of the pleasure I experienced, I shall feel satisfied, and consider that, in some measure at least, the debt is paid which I owe to my captivating Russian hosts.

Download or read book Happy Moscow written by Andrey Platonov and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Moscow Chestnova is a bold and glamorous girl, a beautiful parachutist who grew up with the Revolution. As an orphan, she knew tough times—but things are changing now. Comrade Stalin has proclaimed that “Life has become better! Life has become merrier!” and Moscow herself is poised to join the Soviet elite. But her ambitions are thwarted when a freak accident propels her flaming from the sky. A new, stranger life begins. Moscow drifts from man to man, through dance halls, all-night diners, and laboratories in which the secret of immortality is actively being investigated, exploring the endless avenues and vacant spaces of the great city whose name she bears, looking for happiness, somewhere, still. Unpublishable during Platonov’s lifetime, Happy Moscow first appeared in Russian only in 1991. This new edition contains not only a revised translation of Happy Moscow but several related works: a screenplay, a prescient essay about ecological catastrophe, and two short stories in which same characters reappear and the reader sees the mind of an extraordinary writer at work.

Download or read book Russia Before and After the War Classic Reprint written by Julius Wilhelm Albert von Eckardt and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia Before and After the War Twenty years ago, Prince Dolgorouki, the author of 'La Verite sur la Russie, ' prefaced his indictment against the administration of his country with the remark, 'A book on Russia must be by a Russian; my country resembling no other.' Largely as our knowledge of Russia has increased during this eventful interval, the observation still holds good. It is of some importance, therefore, that English readers should know that the author of the work, now translated, with some additions, from the lately published German original, not only writes with the authority of one familiar with the conditions of social and political life in Russia, but deals with the subject as a Russian. Opinions proceeding from such a source have a representative value of their own, irrespective in one sense of the views of foreign critics, but none the less indispensable for a calm and impartial estimate of the circumstances which have directed the attention of Europe to a State as unique in its composition as it is exceptional in its historical development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Realities: Being Impressions Gathered During Some Recent Journeys in Russia We had read all about the landing at Eupatoria, the day of Alma, the taking of Balaclava Harbour, and the establishment there of naval men whom we boys had actually seen. After that came the wreck of the line-of-battle Ship Prince with great loss of life, against that iron-bound coast. The joy with which the surrender of Sebas topol was received can well be imagined, and finally, by this time at the New Cross Naval School, I had a chance of seeing something of the Peace Illuminations in Lon don. To be accurate, my point of observation was on the top of an omnibus which got blocked for hours in the crowded trame, so my range was limited, to say the least. Times have changed in many ways since then, yet some of these memories fit in with the great war now raging.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of Doors in Tsarland: A Record of the Seeings and Doings of a Wanderer in Russia IN offering this little volume to the public, I in dulge myself with the hope that a book on Russia, in whose pages, from beginning to end, no reference is made to Russia's Mission in the East, or Peter the Great's Will, no allusion to Nihilists, and no mention whatever of Siberia, may possibly be esteemed a novelty by readers. As for the actual contents of the volume, I would ask my readers to regard these indulgently as the untutored record of impressions left upon the mind of an unscientific observer, after a residence of some years' duration in a country to which he owes a deep debt of grati tude for many happy days spent within its moors and forests, its towns and villages.

With those square fingers of his he lightly touched the green and blue pillars and peered with his wondering eyes into the very depths of the mosaics, -as though to learn the secret of their making. The guide, trusting that his patron age of the insignificant soldier would result in an addition to his tip, expatiated at length upon the marvels of the cathedral, and Ivan followed closely his every word, nodding his head with satisfaction. He was still speech less, partly from respect for his august (l) companions, and still more from reverence for the holy place. At last the tour was over.

Download or read book ANNA KARENINA Russian Classics Series written by Leo Tolstoy and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anna Karenina" is the tragic story of Countess Anna Karenina, a married noblewoman and socialite, and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The novel explores a diverse range of topics throughout its approximately one thousand pages. Some of these topics include an evaluation of the feudal system that existed in Russia at the time—politics, not only in the Russian government but also at the level of the individual characters and families, religion, morality, gender and social class. Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. Constance Garnett (1861–1946) was an English translator of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Garnett was one of the first English translators of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Anton Chekhov and introduced them on a wide basis to the English-speaking public.
