Specifikacia London Through Russian Eyes, 1896-1914: An Anthology of Foreign Correspondence Vaninskaya Anna
Translated anthology of 'London Letters' written by Russian foreign correspondents which makes available for the first time in English the Russian perspective on early twentieth-century London life.This anthology provides a unique window onto Britain's capital city as it existed more than a century ago in the minds of the Russian reading public. Russian foreign correspondents produced a substantial body of writing documenting London life in all its infinite variety, but their articles, published in Russian journals and newspapers, have not been accessible to English speakers until today. These articles, instrumental in forging Russian perceptions of London before the First World War, have now acquired a new interest as monuments of a vanished era and as records of the city's history in their own right.The selections in this anthology from Isaak Shklovsky, Korney Chukovsky,
An Anthology of Blackness
Dark Eyes of London BD
An Anthology of Aquatic Life
