Moscow
& St. Petersburg: Russia's Heart and Soul, Second Edition
by Masha Nordbye
Book Description: As the symbolic heart of Russia, Moscow, which recently
celebrated its 850th anniversary, has enjoyed a renaissance as one of the
world's great cities. The capital's once somber streets now buzz 24 hours
a day with purposeful activity, and joint ventures between east and west
have already opened plush new hotels, internationally-stocked shops, and
well over 1,000 eating establishments. Her sister-city, St. Petersburg,
host of Russia's Golden Age and cradle of revolution, and surely Russia's
soul, celebrates its 300th anniversary in 2003. One of the most graceful
and well-proportioned cities in the world, filled with baroque and classical
architecture, intersected by canals, it is easy to see how St. Petersburg
became the inspiration for musicians, artists and writers such as Rimsky-Korsakov,
Pushkin and Dostoevsky.
This book contains a wealth of information on the two cities and the
regions surrounding them: fully updated histories and cultural connections
of the cities, information on finding accommodation, shopping and restaurants,
details of museums, architectural landmarks and theatre and comprehensive
tours of each city. Also included is an indispensable guide to the Golden
Ring, a series of ancient Russian towns set in the stunning countryside
around Moscow.
• Second edition of a best-selling guide with detailed cultural, historical,
religious and political studies of these fascinating cities • An itinerary
to the Golden Ring of ancient Russian towns surrounding Moscow • Indispensable
facts and practical information for the traveler • Literary excerpts
from writers such as Alexandre Dumas, Alexander Pushkin and Fyodor Dostoevsky
• Special topics include essays on the Russian Circus, the Trans-Siberian
Railroad, Catherine the Great and the Siege of Leningrad • This edition
coincides with the 300th anniversary celebrations of the founding of St.
Petersburg • 126 color photos • 16 easy-to-use maps and plans
