Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the enthralling first person account of a French traveler's experiences in Russia during the 1830s. The author was a keen observer of Russian culture and society and his detailed descriptions provide valuable insight into the country and its people. The author was a guest of the Russian nobility and visited some of the most important cities in the country including St. Petersburg and Moscow. He was also able to travel on the vast Siberian steppe and visit the remote city of Tobolsk. The author's insights on Russian culture and society are particularly valuable because they provide a foreign perspective on a country that was often misunderstood by Westerners. He describes the Russian people as proud and independent and praises their love of country. He also notes the country's vast natural resources and predicts that it will one day become a major world power. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Russian history and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The Marquis de Custine's record of his trip to Russia in 1839 is a brilliantly perceptive, even prophetic, account of one of the world's most fascinating and troubled countries. It is also a wonderful piece of travel writing. Custine, who met with people in all walks of life, including the Czar himself, offers vivid descriptions of St. Petersburg and Moscow, of life at court and on the street, and of the impoverished Russian countryside. But together with a wealth of sharply delineated incident and detail, Custine's great work also presents an indelible picture--roundly denounced by both Czarist and Communist regimes--of a country crushed by despotism and intoxicated with slavery. Letters from Russia, here published in a new edition prepared by Anka Muhlstein, the author of the Goncourt Prize-winning biography of Custine, stands with Tocqueville's Democracy in America as a profound and passionate encounter with historical forces that are still very much at work in the world today.…

199, 212 S. In 1 Hlwdbd. Einbd. angeschmutzt. St. u. Sign. a. Vors. u. Tit. Bind. bei Tit. leicht sichtbar. Teils ein wenig stockfl. Seltene erste deutsche Ausgabe des "intelligentesten Buches, das je ein Ausländer über Rußland geschrieben hat" (A. Herzen). Das Buch war über Nacht zu einem Bestseller besonderer Art geworden: denn dieser Reisebericht ist kritisch, boshaft, prophetisch, war sofort in Rußland verboten, aber auch ebensoschnell allenthalben bekannt. Es hob sich so deutlich von der üblichen "kaiserlich - russischen Kanzlei - Polizei - und Petersburger Mixtur" ab, daß die Administration alles daran setzte, das Werk zu entschärfen. Balzac wurde während seiner Rußlandreise bedrängt, eine Widerlegung des verleumderischen Buches zu verfassen. In Frankreich erlebte das Buch in kürzester Zeit mehrere Neuauflagen und Nachdrucke und war das Gesprächsthema in den russischen Kreisen von Paris. Sprache: Französisch.…

Couverture rigide. Condición: Très bon. Paris, Amyot, 1843.4 volumes in-8 de: I/ (2) ff., xxxi pp., 354 pp. ; II/ (2) ff., 416 pp., III/ (2) ff., 470 pp. ; IV/ (2) ff., 544 pp., 1 tableau dépliant. Reliés en demi-veau bleu de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de fleurons et filets dorés, tranches mouchetées.207 x 129 mm. --- Edition originale de « l'ouvrage le plus recherché de Custine » selon Clouzot (80). Vicaire, Manuel de l'amateur, 1090. C'est incontestablement son chef-d'?uvre, et son ouvrage le plus célèbre. Composée à son retour de Russie, vraisemblablement en 1840, cette relation écrite sous forme de lettres connaît un succès considérable. « C'est un modèle de reportage, avec un interview du tsar mais cet excellent journaliste est également un grand écrivain. Il a le mouvement, la couleur et le trait ; sa langue est ferme, preste, châtoyante et souple ; elle vibre avec la pensée et la sensation dans une sorte « d'impressionnisme romantique ». Custine excelle à se camper en spectateur dans la relation de ce voyage où dominent l'intelligence et la clairvoyance du voyageur, la sagacité de l'observation, la vivacité et la diversité du sentiment et du jugement, le don du tableau et du portrait. Custine était parti en Russie pour plaider la cause du comte Ignace Gurowski à Petersbourg, en s'efforçant de n'avoir pas de préjugés. « Ce voyage devient un drame et la marquis de Custine un révolutionnaire lorsqu'il se heurte à la servitude et plus encore à l'effrayant silence où tout un peuple est muré ». Une phrase célèbre symbolise le cri de Custine : « Il n'y manque rien ? que la liberté, c'est-à-dire la vie ». Bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage recherché, sans rousseur, conservé dans ses élégantes reliures en demi-veau bleu nuit de l'époque. /// Paris, Amyot, 1843.4 volumes 8vo [207 x 129 mm], I/ (2) ff., xxxi pp., 354 pp. ; II/ (2) ff., 416 pp., III/ (2) ff., 470 pp. ; IV/ (2) ff., 544 pp., 1 folding table.
