From Publishers Weekly:
From the rustic simplicity of wooden cottages to the gaudy glitter of imperial palaces and estates, this intriguingly illustrated survey of Russian houses filters social history through architecture. Timber cathedrals, manor houses (all nationalized after the 1917 revolution), Peter the Great's wartime cabin by the White Sea, eclectic villas of the 19th-century bourgeoisie and fisherfolks's clustered dwellings evoke a panorama of Russian life. The homes of famous people shown here duly reflect their personalities. Words and photos invite us inside Lenin's monastic three-room apartment, the cozy corner flat of Dostoyevski's last years, painter Ilya Repi's hexagonal studio with skylights illuminating the interior, and dwellings of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Gorky, Pasternak, Stanislavsky, Chekhov and Tchaikovsky. Gaynor and husband-photographer Haavisto are coauthors of Scandinavia: Living Design ; Goldstein is an associate professor of Russian at Williams College.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. This specific hardback book is in new condition with a hard board cover that has sharp edges and corners and has a tight binding and is still enclosed in the original publisher's shrink wrap. The pages are clean, crisp, unmarked and uncreased. The dust jacket is in new condition. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "The photography is exquisite, the text well written and educational. I studied design in collage in the late 1960's, but we never learned anything about Russian country or city dwellings and their interiors, and very little about Russian palaces (I suppose because Russian was pretty much closed off to Westerners at that time)."; 11.6 X 9.5 X 1.2 inches; 287 pages.
