A propos de cet article

Condition: Fine. Hardcover with dust jacket in Very Good condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. No writing, highlighting, underlining, bookplates, or ownership markings observed. Dust jacket shows light shelf and edge wear, including minor rubbing and faint surface wear. Boards clean and solid. Spine straight. Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. Non-fiction travel memoir of a 2006 overland journey through southern Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and western China. Encounters with residents combine local history with accounts of everyday life after communism. Visits to former Soviet labor camps in Kazakhstan introduce communities still shaped by forced deportation. Conversations reveal Soviet nostalgia, ethnic loyalties, and conflicting desires for personal freedom and strong leadership.

Taxi drivers, local guides, political activists, and fellow passengers give the journey its human detail. Their conversations range from memories of Soviet repression to resentment of the West and hopes for a better life. Young nightclub patrons in Urumqi offer a different perspective, concerned with music, drinking, and romance. Tayler reflects on a recurring contradiction: people who resent repression and corruption may still admire rulers they associate with national strength and restored pride.…

Description de la boutique

An independent online bookseller offering a varied, deliberately selected inventory of fiction, nonfiction, collectible editions, advance reading copies, reference works, and other books chosen for their quality, interest, or unusual subject matter. We keep our inventory selective rather than building a large catalog of commonplace titles. Each book is individually examined and conservatively graded, with attention given to edition, printing, notable attributes, and condition. Listings describe the actual copy offered for sale, and photographs are provided whenever useful for evaluating condition or collectible features. Orders are carefully packaged, shipped promptly, and include tracking. Our focus is accurate descriptions, careful handling, and dependable service.…
