Schmemann, Serge ECHOES OF A NATIVE LAND Two Centuries of a Russian Village
New York City, N.Y. Alfred A. Knopf 1997 0679438106 / 9780679438106 Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
Tan Hard Cover;; ECHOS OF A NATIVE LAND has a Brahmsian sweep, occasionally reaching the lyricism of Turgenev and of Nabokov's SPEAK, MEMORY. Schmemann taps onto the deepest wells of Old Russian spirituality and reverence for nature. He brings to the subject a mastery of the Russian language, history, and culture, and a rare spiritual depth. His book provides the most detailed portraits of Russian village life through the centuries that I am aware of. The vicissitudes of his ancestors on their various country estates becomes a facinating and epic prism of Russian history.-- Alex Shoumatoff; 4777; 9 1/2" H X 6 1/2" W 350 Pages
