Description
The Marquis de Custineâs record of his trip to Russia in 1839 is a brilliantly perceptive, even prophetic, account of one of the worldâs most fascinating and troubled countries. It is also a wonderful piece of travel writing. Custine, who met with people in all walks of life, including the Czar himself, offers vivid descriptions of St. Petersburg and Moscow, of life at court and on the street, and of the impoverished Russian countryside. But together with a wealth of sharply delineated incident and detail, Custineâs great work also presents an indelible pictureâroundly denounced by both Czarist and Communist regimesâof a country crushed by despotism and âintoxicated with slavery.â
Letters from Russia, here published in a new edition prepared by Anka Muhlstein, the author of the Goncourt Prize-winning biography of Custine, stands with Tocquevilleâs Democracy in America as a profound and passionate encounter with historical forces that are still very much at work in the world today.
