{"product_id":"polemic-and-pastoral-colin-bearne-9781492350408","title":"Polemic and Pastoral: Writing the Countryside","description":"This collection of translated excerpts, together with a commentary on them, examines the changing attitudes of Russian writers towards the countryside of western and central Russia, from the pastoral descriptions by Turgenev and Tolstoi to the more polemical texts of Leonov and other twentieth century authors. Some of the writers will be well known to Western readers, others less so, but well deserving of attention. In an age where ecological issues are very much to the fore it is valuable to look back and see to whay extent modern Russian attitudes may have been formed by texts of the kind presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Bearne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492350400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492350408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Colin Bearne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458839359743,"sku":"9781492350408","price":15.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53c8b45c-09ef-4fab-a7b8-3a4abccc1588.jpg?v=1777406940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polemic-and-pastoral-colin-bearne-9781492350408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
