Synopsis

To appreciate what Russia is and stands for we must succumb to its fascination with our heart and soul, as well as with our eyes. Seeing the serene beauty of its landscapes, churches, faces and age-old artworks is not enough: we need to feel their impact in the very depths of our being. The expression "Tsar of all the Russias" is not used inappropriately or for effect. There really are many different Russias. Or at least three: visual Russia, the tourist destination, which springs vividly from the pages of this book; lovable Russia, conveyed by the carefully chosen pictures in this book; and spiritual Russia, omnipresent in these pages where it waits to be revealed to responsive readers; It is a new title in the popular "Countries of the World" series.
