Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Imperial Russia Ir seems useless and futile to attempt to write another book about Russia when so many hundreds have already been written and when, in spite of all their quantity and length, her secrets still remain unconquerable and unsolved. Radiant beauty and stark, hideous ugliness, gladness and sorrow, greatness and tragedy and brutal, savage cruelty - over them all she draws a veil of impenetrable mystery, smiling with soft, inscrutable eyes when people impatiently misjudge and condemn her. I myself cannot even attempt to understand, far less explain, her wayward inconsistence all that I can do is to try, very feebly and haltingly, to paint in words all those different pictures of her that I have known and loved and read of. Glowing and jewel - coloured the pageantries of her past, like the splendid golden mosaics in her glorious churches, and dark and sad and terrible the realities of her tragic present. Her history and legends are full of colour and romance and mysticism, mingled always with crime and unspeakable brutality. Her literature is great and wonderful, but almost morbid in its utter hopelessness her music, even in its turbulent gaiety, never loses its haunting sadness her climate is grim and desolating9 and depressing and always.

Download or read book Russian Memories Classic Reprint written by Madame Olga Novikoff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Memories They are barbarians, these Russians says someone to his friend. But the friend turns a deaf ear. I happen to know one of them, says he. A beautiful and clever woman always charms, whatever her nationality may be, and it is possible for her to make conquests that predicate nothing of the nation to which she belongs. That is true, and therein lay the true grace and genius of Madame Novikoff. She was not merely a clever and charm ing woman, she was Russia herself. Russia lent her charm. Thus her friends were drawn from serious and vital England. Gladstone learned from her what Russia was. The great Liberal, the man who, whatever his virtues, and despite his high religious fervour, yet committed Liberalism to anti-clericalism and secularism, learned from her to pronounce the phrase, Holy Russia. He esteemed her. With his whole spiritual nature he exalted her. She was his Beatrice, and to her more than to anyone in his life he brought flowers. Morley has somehow omitted this in his biography of Gladstone. Like so many intellectual Radicals he is afraid of idealism. But in truth the key to the more beautiful side of Gladstone's character might have been found in his relationship to Madame Novikoff. And possibly that friendship laid the real foundation of the understanding between the two nations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Memories of the Russian Court Classic Reprint written by Anna Viroubova and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Russian Court Perhaps it was a common love of music which first drew the Empress and our family into a bond of friendship. All of us children received a thorough musical education. From childhood we were taken regularly to concerts and the opera, and our home, especially on Wednesday evenings, was a rendezvous for all the musicians and composers Of the capital; The great Tschaikovsky was a friend Of my father, and I remember many others of note who were ftc quent guests at tea or dinner. Apart from music we received an education rather more practical than was the average at that time. In the Russia of my childhood a girl of good family was supposed to acquire a few pretty accomplishments and nothing much besides. Accomplishments I and my sister were given, but besides music and painting, for which my sister had considerable talent, we were well grounded in academic studies, and we finished by tak ing examinations leading to teachers' diplomas. I may say also that even in our drawing-room accomplish ments we were obliged to be thorough, and when my father ventured to show some of our work to the Empress She expressed warm approval. Most Rus sian girls, she said, seem to have nothing in their heads but Officers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For Russia, Vol. 1: Reminiscences and Correspondence of Madame Olga Novikoff Russian patriot, who was often in vehement Opposi tion to her own Government, and who was devoted heart and soul to the cause of the oppressed Slavs, in whose defence her brother had laid down his life. Mr. Gladstone, with his keen eye for sterling goodness of character and sincere conviction, did not hesitate to enter into an informal but most useful partnership with Madame Novikoff for the purpose of securing a good understanding between Russia and England in the cause of civilisation and humanity in the East. It was this co-operation of the English statesman with the Russian lady in I876 - 78 which rendered the Agreement of 1907 possible.

Download or read book The Diary of a Russian Lady written by Barbara Doukhovskoy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Russian Lady: Reminiscences of Barbara Doukhovskoy (Nee Princesse Galitzine) This book was not intended to be published, and it is to accident that we owe its appearance. The author, from her childhood, followed affection ate advices and good examples, and noted every day her impressions of everything she saw and heard about her. She puts in these pages all the freshness and sincerity of her woman's heart. Circumstances placed the author in the centre of remarkable events. Remaining faithful to the principle of not interfering with her husband's business, she becomes, however, unwillingly, the spectatrix of particularly interesting facts: the outside of war, of different centres of Russian society, of exotic life in foreign colonies and on our remote frontiers, including the regions of the river Amour in Eastern Siberia. Our author does not pretend to give a thorough and complete study of political events and society customs. But here we have vivid pictures of different impressions which, linked together, give us a living picture of places, events, and persons; real life in fact is delineated in this book, which has thus become a considerable work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of Russia All the profits, including what would have been publishers' profits, from the sale of this book will be handed over to Prince G. E. Lvov, President of the All Russian Union of Zemstvos, or Russian County Councils, for distribution among sufferers from the War. Beyond all praise is the work the Zemstvos are doing in this war. Created in 1864, they first organised themselves into a Union after the russo-japanese War, and again on the outbreak of the present hostilities. In an interesting article contributed to this book, Mr. A. Kuprin1 describes how the activities of the Zemstvos, in peace time exclusively local, have now expanded until they include care of the wounded, their transport, the organisation of hospitals, the provision of medical aid and surgical equipment, as well as the manufacture of clothing and munitions. That excellent use will be made of any sum confided to this admirable organisation there is no doubt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia's Gift to the World In any account of Russian literature, two kinds of it have to be considered which are historically separate, though the one to some extent grew out of and is founded upon the other. There is the early popular literature of tales, ballads, and poems which grew up among the people, was handed down by memory, and very often was not committed to writing at all until modern times. There is also the regular literature of books, which begins when language has been studied as an art and reduced to rules. This latter is the form which literature takes in modern times. In both forms the recox d of Russia is extraordinarily rich. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Thus practically the Raskolniks live in the same condition as in the time Of Peter: they pay a tax, and are not molested - only the money paid does not now find its way into the Imperial Exchequer.
