Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Petersburg: Its People; Their Character and Institutions He does not, however, dogmatically contend for the soundness of his opinions, but will apparently be well content if his readers credit the facts with which he furnishes them, thereupon to form their own judgment. Thus much can hardly be refused to a writer, who, although hitherto unknown in England, is evidently shrewd and intelligent, whose veracity we have no grounds to call in question, and to whom we are certainly indebted for a highly interesting book.

The count was in despair; but the case was one for which there was no remedy. At last he sent his gamekeeper for firearms. The man levelled his gun at the noble dog, but the count could not bear to behold his favourite fall by a stranger's hand. He tremblingly grasped the weapon, and took aim; but, although close to his mark, he could not see for the tears that filled his eyes, and he missed. A shot from the gamekeeper took sure effect. The dog had no sooner fallen than the count pressed his body to his breast as passionately as though it had been that of some dear and much-lamented friend. I could not longer bear to contemplate this painful scene, and drove on. Before I had turned a corner near at hand, a third shot was fired; turning quickly round I saw the valuable horse rear high in the air, and then fall lifeless to the earth. The count threw his rifle on the beast's carcase and rushed into the house. CHAPTER XXXIX. A WINTER MORNING IN THE COUNTRY. IT was a splendid winter's morning. Even before rising from his bed, the Russian is at once informed of such a day by a glance at the thermometer, which hangs between his double windows, and stands at sixteen or eighteen degrees below zero. With this dry cold the wind is always very light, and it falls in proportion as the quicksilver sinks; until, at twenty degrees below zero, there is usually a dead calm. If, in addition to this, there be a gleam of sunshine, the fine winter day is complete, and leaves nothing to be desired. On such a day was it that we started on an expedition "to the Colony." Nine o'clock struck as the sledges drove up to the door. I was informed of their arrival, or should otherwise not have been aware of it, for I could not see them from my apartment on...

Download or read book Recipes for Russia written by Alison K. Smith and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alison K. Smith examines changing attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs about the production and consumption of food in Russia from the late eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. She focuses on the way that competing ideas based either in "traditional" Russian practice or in new practices from the "rational" West became the basis for Russians' understanding of themselves and their society. The Russians who participated in the process of self-definition were variously private authors and reformers or public servants of the Russian imperial state. Some had great success in creating a sense of themselves as ultimate authorities on a given topic. For example, a series of cookbook authors developed a system of writing Russian cookbooks in ways that borrowed from, but were still quite different from, foreign sources. Others found the process of mediating these ideas more difficult; agricultural reformers, in particular, sometimes found traditional practices, now deemed irrational, hard to eliminate. Recipes for Russia looks at the process of nation-building within the framework of the modern world—that is, it looks at the way individuals sought to define their nationality not only against outside influences but also by incorporating those outside influences into some coherent, yet national, whole. While Smith looks at food as part of Russian culture, she also connects it with the social, legal, and economic background that formed the culture, while examining the pre-reform period in significant detail. As a result, Recipes for Russia illuminates the great changes of this period, both in the food habits of Russians and in their views of themselves and of their nation.

Download or read book Piano Makers in Russia in the Nineteenth Century written by Anne Swartz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piano Makers in Russia in the Nineteenth Century is a richly detailed thematic study of the history of the piano in Russian society from its beginnings with the European artisans who settled in St. Petersburg in the early decades of the century through the transition to Russian-owned family firms. The piano played a defining role in the shaping of Russia’s musical culture in the nineteenth century, as artisans and entrepreneurs provided the foundation for the great tradition of the Russian virtuoso in the performance and the composition of piano music. It also helped bring about a transformative change in the material culture as the piano expanded its reach from the court and the nobility to include music enthusiasts from all social classes and Russian families in their homes. This historical study brings to light the impact of neglected piano artisans in nineteenth-century Russia, and presents a fresh view of the social and economic ties between the state and the piano-manufacturing artisans in an era largely defined by handcrafting and entrepreneurship. It contributes significantly to current issues surrounding the role of the piano and the entrepreneur-artisans in the urban centers of imperial Russia and represents an expansion of what is currently known about the piano builders who established workshops in Russia beginning in the late 1830s and 1840s, well before the heyday of the virtuoso in that country. Rare documents, including letters, memoirs, gazettes, exhibition catalogs, music journals, and administrative reports, form the nucleus of this book and provide fascinating insights about state and private patronage and the class/economic issues related to the affordability and prestige of the piano in Russia. Issues surrounding the transformation of the music industry in Russia, the role of women as patrons and performers, the exportation of instruments to the Russian Far East, and the complex system of tariffs and trade protection that benefited domestic piano manufacturers provide this book’s thematic links. Conclusions indicate that while favorable tariff laws and state-imposed economic policies benefited the family-owned firms in the nineteenth century, they remained in effect in the decades after the nationalization of the piano industry in 1917.

The book discusses the significance of sensory history in relation to modern Russia and covers a range of exciting case studies, rich with primary source material, that provide a stimulating way of understanding modern Russia at a visceral level. Russian History through the Senses is a novel text that is of great value to scholars and students interested in modern Russian studies.
