Between Heaven and Hell: The Myth of Siberia in Russian Culture
ISBN: 9780312060725 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

For centuries, Siberia has been represented as Russia's alter ego, as the heavenly or infernal antithesis to the perceived complexity or shallowness of Russian life. It has been both the frightening heart of darkness and a fabulous land of plenty; the 'House of the Dead' and the realm of utter freedom; a frozen wasteland and a colourful...

His tales of visiting these far-flung rivers are memorable, and at heart, Reeling in Russia is far more than a story of an angling journey. It is a humorous and moving...
