Natashas’s Dance: A Cultural History of Russia
Orlando Figes
Okay, okay, if you’ve been on my page for a minute it’s no news: I’m a major fan of Russian literature.
Always on the lookout for books related to this topic, I was pleased when I came across this cultural history, which seemed to have very positive reviews.
Ah, I’m very glad our paths crossed. It is an enchanting overview of Russian literature/music/film and creates a sort of tapestry interweaving history and art. It was originally written in English, with an aim of bringing attention to the creators and works of the last four hundred years. Not overly “academic”, the book is written more like a story / collection of tales, which entertains and edifies. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to learn more about this treasure trove of art. If you’re Russian, you probably know most of this, but if you’re not, there’s a lot to learn and enjoy.
