Natasha`s Dance

This encyclopedic cultural history of Russia is epic in its intentions. Figes delves into Russian culture and examines the characters that helped shape it, discovering that Russia`s identity is embodied in its dazzling culture. In the absence of a free press or parliament, poetry, music, books and art have all served as an arena for political and religious debate and have helped to bind this vast country together, giving it a sense of self. Figes` unparalleled exploration of Russia is gloriously vivid and shot through with remarkable stories and individuals. Beautifully written, it balances big ideas with personal histories to create a compelling argument for Russia`s greatness. Review by Alex Stewart, International Books Buyer, Stanfords Covent Garden
