Crimea

A gripping narrative history of the Crimean War, a conflict which combined aspects of the modern (photography, frontline newspaper coverage) and the traditional (illiterate soldiers, amateur officers and huge casualties caused by disease). Using rare or unknown memoirs, letters and diaries from all sides, Figes creates a remarkable picture of a sig. ISBN: 9780141013503. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

FIGES, ORLANDO

Fluisteraars. Leven onder Stalin

Standaard , 2007. Ed./Druk: 1. Linnen band. Pp: 774. In dit langverwachte boek roept Orlando Figes aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen uit brieven, memoires en interviews een beeld op van het dagelijks leven in stalinistisch Rusland. De geschiedenis van de Sovjet-Unie werd tot nog toe meestal ofwel van de politieke kant belicht ofwel gezien als het verhaal van de talloze slachtoffers. Fluisteraars gaat over de ervaringen van álle Russen onder Stalin. Het boek schetst een beeld van het beklemmende labyrint waarin de Russen terechtkwamen: een samenleving waarin een verkeerde keuze een hele familie kon vernietigen, maar waarin diezelfde keuze op een ander moment ironisch genoeg juist weer levens kon redden. Het was een maatschappij waarin mensen fluisterden: niet alleen om zichzelf, hun familie en hun vrienden te beschermen, maar ook om hen te verklikken. Fluisteraars is een aangrijpend verslag van mensen die in een onmogelijke tijd overeind moesten zien te blijven en een schitterend voorbeeld van de verpletterende kracht die van geschiedschrijving kan uitgaan.

Natasha's dance. A cultural history of Russia

Macmillan, 2002. Pp: 728. History on a grand scale-an enchanting masterpiece that explores the making of one of the world's most vibrant civilizations A People's Tragedy , wrote Eric Hobsbawm, did "more to help us understand the Russian Revolution than any other book I know." Now, in Natasha's Dance , internationally renowned historian Orlando Figes does the same for Russian culture, summoning the myriad elements that formed a nation and held it together. Beginning in the eighteenth century with the building of St. Petersburg-a "window on the West"-and culminating with the challenges posed to Russian identity by the Soviet regime, Figes examines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself-its character, spiritual essence, and destiny. He skillfully interweaves the great works-by Dostoevsky, Stravinsky, and Chagall-with folk embroidery, peasant songs, religious icons, and all the customs of daily life, from food and drink to bathing habits to beliefs about the spirit world. Figes's characters range high and low: the revered Tolstoy, who left his deathbed to search for the Kingdom of God, as well as the serf girl Praskovya, who became Russian opera's first superstar and shocked society by becoming her owner's wife. Like the European-schooled countess Natasha performing an impromptu folk dance in Tolstoy's War and Peace , the spirit of "Russianness" is revealed by Figes as rich and uplifting, complex and contradictory-a powerful force that unified a vast country and proved more lasting than any Russian ruler or state.

A people's tragedy. A history of the Russian Revolution.

New York, Viking, 1996. Large 8vo, pp. xx, [10], 923, [2]. Hardcover with dust jacket. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps. Includes bibliography and index. First american edition. "A People's Tragedy" is an account of the Russian Revollution for the new generation. It is a history on an epic yet human scale. Orlando Figes provides a panorama of Russian society on the eve of the revolution, and then narrates the story of how these social forces were viontly suppressed. Written in a narrative style that captures both the scope and detail of the Russian revolution, Figes' history is certain to become one of the most important contemporary studies of Russia as it was at the beginning of the 20th century. With an almost cinematic eye, Figes captures the broad movements of war and revolution, never losing sight of the individuals whose lives make up his subject. He makes use of personal papers and personal histories to illustrate the effects the revolution wrought on a human scale, while providing a convincing and detailed understanding of the role of workers, peasants, and soldiers in the revolution. Fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
