A propos de cet article

FIRST PRINTING. An in-depth, informative, and revealing chronicle of turn-of-century Russia. From the Preface: "In this volume is presented to American readers an unbiased description of the real state of affairs in Russia to-day. The sketches here brought together are the result of a special visit to Russia by Mr. Hugo Ganz, the well-known writer of Vienna, who was furnished with the best of introductions to the various circles of Russian society, and had thus exceptional opportunities to acquire reliable information." Brown cloth binding with gold gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. Gold gilt top edges, uncut side and bottom edges. 26 Chapters: Introduction; Warsaw; Warsaw-Continued; St. Petersburg; St. Petersburg-Continued; Artist and Professor-Ilya Ryepin; The Hermitage; The Hermitage-Continued; The Camorra-A Talk With a Russian Prince; Sanger's Fall; The People's Palace of St. Petersburg (Narodni Dom); Russia's Financial Future; The Russian Finances; A Funeral; The Chinovnik (The Russian Official); The Suffering of the Jews; The Jewish Question; Plehve; The Administration of Justice; The Imperial Family as the Public Sees It; Public Opinion and the Press; Some Realities of the Legal Profession; The Student Body in Russia; Before the Catastrophe; Sectarians and Socialists; Moscow; Moscow-Continued; A Visit to Tolstoi; A Visit to Tolstoi-Continued; A Visit to Tolstoi-(further) Continued. 331 pages. *NOTE: Front endpaper has an intriguing scotch-taped full-color photo and an article entitled: "A Norwegian Farmer Farmer Tells of His Trips into Russia" The article contains the paragraph: "Here the farmer relaxes with the author (presumably Hugo Ganz). His daughter cooks preserves". The Half-title page also has a scotch-taped article entitled: "The Heroic Switch Tender" (dated in ink 1864). The article tells of a news incident out of Prussia involving a little boy and a near fatality to the boy as the road taken over a train disaster. Minor damage to top and bottom of spine binding, elsewise a very good, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy! GA3.…
