{"product_id":"pushkins-children-tatyana-tolstaya-9780618125005","title":"Pushkin's Children: Writing on Russia and Russians","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese twenty pieces address the politics, culture, and literature of Russia with both flair and erudition. Passionate and opinionated, often funny, and using ample material from daily life to underline their ideas and observations, Tatyana Tolstaya's essays range across a variety of subjects. They move in one unique voice from Soviet women, classical Russian cooking, and the bliss of snow to the effect of Pushkin and freedom on Russia writers; from the death of the czar and the Great Terror to the changes brought by Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Putin in the last decade. Throughout this engaging volume, the Russian temperament comes into high relief. Whether addressing literature or reporting on politics, Tolstaya's writing conveys a deep knowledge of her country and countrymen. Pushkin's Children is a book for anyone interested in the Russian soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tatyana Tolstaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618125000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618125005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.47w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2002 pg. 1682\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2002 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2002 pg. 129\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 836\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/26\/2003 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/27\/2003 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2003 pg. 10","brand":"Tatyana Tolstaya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046990803199,"sku":"9780618125005","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8b38398-29c6-45c6-aad8-8de6a5a2a894.jpg?v=1684987655","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pushkins-children-tatyana-tolstaya-9780618125005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
