From the Publisher
Russian writers have always played a special role in the spiritual, intellectual, and political lives of their readers. This book reveals the warmth and energy with which their legacy is cherished. The authors take the reader on a tour of sites of the most important scenes of Russian literature. Readers can trace the steps of Raskolnikov through St. Petersburg or follow Esenin's bohemian life in Moscow.
A book to be read at home as much as by travelers, Literary Russia: A Guide sketches not only an extraordinary literary map of Russia but also a whole social and political panorama that unfolds in vivid and remarkable detail.

By Reader "Reader" (Melbourne) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Literary Russia: a Guide (Pb) (Paperback)
When I was in Oxford about 12 years ago, I was invited out to eat with 2 friends and another whom I had met briefly through them long before but otherwise did not know. She turned out to be a fascinating but undomineering conversationalist, and quite magnetic personality. When she asked me what I intended to do with my remaining day in England I said I hoped to track down a book but could not remember either the title or the author(s). When I described its contents she said, astoundingly, that she was the author and would give me a copy. (Our friends were neither Russianists nor academics of any kind, and had no idea I was interested in the area or the book, so it was a complete coincidence.) As to the book, it is a fascinating and original reference for any lover of Russian literature.
