Massie Suzanne Pavlovsk: The Life of a Russian Palace
Massie's Pavlovsk, acclaimed as one of the best and most exciting cultural histories of recent years, provides important insights into the challenges facing Russia today. Pavlovsk is a parable of the creation, deconstruction, and recreation of a culture - essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the soul of Russia and the roots in its history from which any new relationship between "us" and "them" must grow. If it has a moral, it is the sentence from Dostoyevsky spontaneously cited by many of the Russians Massie interviewed in writing this book, "Beauty will save the world". This remains to be seen - but it may be the best hope we have. Издание на английском языке.

Gogol Nikolai The Night Before Christmas
Gogol's classic, uproarious folktale, presented in a beautiful hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift.Written in 1831, this dark tale relates the adventures of Vakula, the blacksmith, in his fight against the devil, who has stolen the moon above the village of Dikanka and is wreaking havoc on its inhabitants, all to win the love of the most beautiful girl in town. The basis for many film and opera adaptations, and still a story traditionally read aloud to children on Christmas Eve in Ukraine and Russia, The Night Before Christmas is the best holiday tale by the man whom Vladimir Nabokov called 'the greatest writer Russia has yet produced'.Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was the son of a Ukrainian gentleman farmer. He attended a variety of boarding schools, where he proved an indifferent student but was admired for his theatrical abilities. In 1828 he moved to St. Petersburg and began to publish stories, and by the mid-1830s he had established himself in the literary world and been warmly praised by Pushkin. In 1836, his play The Inspector-General was attacked as immoral, and he left Russia, remaining abroad for most of the next dozen years. During that time he wrote two of his best-known stories, 'The Nose' and 'The Overcoat,' and in 1842 he published the first section of his masterpiece Dead Souls. Gogol became increasingly religious as the years passed, and in 1847 he became the disciple of an Orthodox priest who influenced him to burn the second part of Dead Souls and then abandon writing altogether. After undertaking an extreme fast, he died at the age of forty-two.

Zamyatin Yevgeny We
A seminal work of dystopian fiction that foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia, Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Russian with an introduction by Clarence Brown. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years' suppression. Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a naval engineer by profession and writer by vocation, who made himself an enemy of the Tsarist government by being a Bolshevik, and an enemy of the Soviet government by insisting that human beings have absolute creative freedom. He wrote short stories, plays and essays, but his masterpiece is We, written in 1920-21 and soon thereafter translated into most of the languages of the world. It first appeared in Russia only in 1988.

Korneva G., Cheboksarova T. Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna
For two decades, "Liki Rossii", an information and publishing company, has published many books and photographic albums on topics ranging from the history of Russia to Saint Petersburg and the Romanov Dynasty. Some of our books were devoted to a particular branch of the Imperial Family, the "Vladimirovichi" - Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich and his descendants. Among these works were: the memoires of Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich and his spouse Grand Duchess Leonida Georgievna, "Russia is in our hearts", published in 1995. The memoires of Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, "My life in Russia's Service," were issued one year later. The authors, Galina Korneva and Tatiana Cheboksarova, have been working on this topic for many years. Back in 2001, "Liki Rossii" published an important and one-of-akind guidebook, "Saint-Petersburg Palace of Grand Duke Vladimir," authored by Korneva and Cheboksarova. It was to become the first of many such collaborations. The authors take part in conferences both in Russia and abroad; they deliver lectures and write articles on a regular basis. In fact, they have authored nearly 30 articles devoted to different aspects of Grand Duke Vladimir activity, as well as the life of members of his family. One the latest books written by G. Korneva and T. Cheboksarova is titled "Russia and Europe - Dynastic Ties." It contains many pages dedicated to detailed descriptions of this branch of Romanov family. "Liki Rossii" published it in 2010 in Russian and in 2012 in English. Expanded with many archival photographs, kindly provided by publisher and collector Arturo E. Beеche, it was printed in USA by Eurohistory.com in 2013 The authors used considerable amounts of archival documents that they collected during many years working in various archives, both in Russia and abroad. The book "Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna" includes also more than 300 photographs from archives and private collections. In a further collaboration with Eurohistory.com, nearly 70 photographs were kindly given to the authors by Arturo E. Beеche. In fact, as was the case with "Russia and Europe," Eurohistory.com is publishing "Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna" for the American, European and world markets. Proficiency in several foreign languages provided G. Korneva and T. Cheboksarova the chance to read and analyze a period covering the end of 19th - beginning of 20th century. Many of these works were printed in Russia, England, Germany, while also serving as source for many previously unseen photographs. Without a doubt, the authors' detailed knowledge of the topic only further enriches this very unique book. See also the previous published book of the authors "Empress Maria Fedorovna's Favorite Residences in Russia and Denmark".

Palahniuk Ch. Adjustment Day
People pass the word only to those they trust most: Adjustment Day is coming. They’ve been reading a mysterious blue-black book and memorising its directives. They are ready for the reckoning. In this ingeniously comic work, Chuck Palahniuk’s first novel in four years, he does what he does best: skewer the absurdities in our society. Smug, geriatric politicians hatch a nasty fate for the burgeoning population of young males; working-class men dream of burying the elites; and professors propound theories that offer students only the bleakest future. When it arrives, Adjustment Day inaugurates a new, disunited states. In this mind-blowing novel, Palahniuk fearlessly makes real the logical conclusion of every separatist fantasy, alternative fact, and conspiracy theory lurking in the American psyche. .
