Summary: Russian Exuberance
Review: Engelgardt's book, "Letters From The Country" is a fascinating look at Russian peasantry and gentry lifstlyle during the late 19th century. It is a faboulus book that explores the meticulous lifestyles of these countryside peasants. The letters show the simple and surprisingly postive way these people go about farming their villages and taking care of eachother. I highly recommend this book to all interested in Russian history.
