Song Without Words(I***N=9781426201738) 英文原版 pdf 下载 极速 mobi txt pdb lrf 网盘

Through never-before-seen p***ographs and intriguing personal

diaries, this beautiful book provides an intimate glimpse into the

lives of Countess Sophia Tolstoy and her husband, Leo Tolstoy—one

of the greatest authors of all time—set against the grand and

terrifying backdrop of aristocratic Russia on the brink of its

demise.

Between 1885 and 1910, Countess Tolstoy made more than a thousand

p***ographs representing her entire world—from artists to

aristocrats to peasants to family, from the Crimea to Moscow to the

family estate 100 kilometers to the south. She also kept detailed

diaries, which sweep us into fashionable balls and local

gossip...magical scenes of winter in Russia...and devastating

famine in the countryside. Sophia's works deepen our understanding

of the era as well as of this amazing woman, who had thirteen

children, battled a troubled marriage, and, though blessed with a

creative life of her own, was so devoted to her husband's career

that she hand-copied his great works Anna Karenina and War and

Peace many times over.

Song Without Words showcases the p***ographs by theme, with

Sophia's writings providing emotional context for many of the

images. Commentary by author Leah Bendavid-Val weaves through the

book, linking diaries with pictures and placing each in its

historical and li***ry setting.

Autobiographical in nature, yet global in its true scope, Song

Without Words brings to light the gifts of a major figure whose

previously unknown works enrich our knowledge of li***ture,

p***ography, and history.
