More About This Textbook

Overview

Produced to complement Gerhart's previous book, The Russian's World, this substantial tome contains a dozen contributed chapters (from professors at various American universities) on many aspects of Russian culture, including poetry, prose, children's literature, theater, art, popular entertainment, geography, and government. The idea is to present cultural context that enables and enhances study of the language. While most readers are likely to have had some Russian, those with just an interest in Russian culture will also find the material accessible and useful. Arrangement is in sections on history, language, spectacle, and reality; and appendices supply additional information and resources. The included CD-ROM contains the full text of the book in Adobe Acrobat Reader format, enriched with graphics and sound files. Indexing is in both English and Russian. Annotation c.
