Mud and Stars: Travels in Russia With Pushkin and Other Geniuses of the Golden Age

Trama

There is a literal Russian landscape, and there is its emotional, literary counterpart. With the writers of the Golden Age as her guides - Pushkin, Tolstoy, Gogol and Turgenev, among others - Wheeler travels across eight time zones, from rinsed north-western beetroot fields and far-eastern Arctic tundra to the cauldron of ethnic soup that is the Caucasus.
