Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This revealing book offers unique insight into 18th and 19th-century Russia through the diary entries of British travellers to this mysterious and complex nation. The diaries' firsthand accounts provide a new perspective on the political landscape, religious practices, and social customs of the country. From tales of encountering the Empress to stories of escaping Napoleon's invasion of Moscow, the author uses these primary source accounts to tell the story of a society blossoming yet bounded by tradition. Russia emerges from these pages neither as a barbaric land of Cossacks and bears nor as a cultural mirror of Western Europe, but as a distinct nation wrestling with its own identity and modernity, torn between its autocratic past and an uncertain future.
