SCHMEMANN, SERGE. Echoes Of A Native Land: Two Centuries Of A Russian Village.
Vintage Books, New York: 1997. 0679757074 / 9780679757078 First Vintage Books Edition. s Softcover. Very good condition.
In 1990 Serge Schmemann, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times bureau chief in Moscow, traveled 90 miles south into the ancient Russian heartland to find the estate from which his forebears, local tsarist gentry, had been ejected by Bolshevik armies 72 years before. The ruined manor and its neighboring village, he writes, "became my little corner of Russia - my entry into the charm, beauty, and romance of that vast northern land, and also its backwardness, cruelty, and suffering." Drawing on state and family archives and on conversations with aged villagers, Schmemann hauntingly reconstructs the history of his family, the Osorgins, and their vanished world. Includes an Index. "Filled with keen observations about Russian and its people. . . . Mr. Schmemann has succeeded in drawing a microcosm of Russia as it was and is." - The New York Times
