Title: Summerfolk. A History of the Dacha, 1710-2000
Description: Cornell University Press 2003 Hardback, 288pp. 'A fascinating work rich in detail, Summerfolk explores the ways in which Russia's turbulent past has shaped the function of the dacha and attitudes toward it. The book also demonstrates the crucial role that the dacha has played in the development of Russia's two most important cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, by providing residents with a refuge from the squalid and crowded metropolis. Minor wear to the edges of the dust jacket. (ISBN: 9780801440717). Very Good.
