Trans-Volga and the right bank through Old Believer and merchant life
Pavel Melnikov-Pechersky - In the woods. On the mountains (set of 4 books). Handmade leather-bound books.
Content:
- "In the Woods" is a multifaceted historical narrative that tells about the life of the Trans–Volga Old Believer population, about peasant crafts, the life of merchants and schismatic monasteries. The description of the Trans-Volga region is given against the background of poetic pictures of nature and a wealth of ethnographic and folklore material.
- "On the Mountains" is a tale about the way of life and customs of the restless Russian people living along the high right bank of the Volga River – from the mouth of the Oka River to Saratov and below.
In his new novel, Pavel Melnikov-Pechersky leads the reader to the edge of the abyss that lies between the vagaries of millionaire highland merchants who can make a flea out of a boot, and the hopeless poverty of community members whose yards are covered only by light and surrounded by wind. And in this abyss, life is beating with relentless anguish, unthinkable and unbearable in Russian.
