I knew it - this book's officially put me back on a Russian history / culture kick and a renewed Russian lit phase. This in-depth look at Russian history spans not only the classic literature, opera, and ballet of the 18th & 19th centuries of "European" Russia, - but crosses time, space, and themes to track Tatar, peasant, religious, and Soviet influences and periods.
