His impressions turned into what is perhaps the greatest and most influential of all books about Russia under the Tsars. \u003cbr\u003eRich in anecdotes as much about the court of Tsar Nicholas as the streets of St Petersburg, Custine is as brilliant writing about the Kremlin as he is about the great northern landscapes. An immediate bestseller on publication, Custine's book is also a central book for any discussion of 19th century history, as - like de Tocqueville's Democracy in America - it dramatizes far broader questions about the nature of government and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003ePublisher information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublisher: Penguin Random House\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eISBN: 9780141394510\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNumber of pages: 320\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimensions: 19.8 × 1.8 × 12.9 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWeight: 236 g\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInterest age: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starlight Library","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54218332766521,"sku":"9780141394510","price":25.0,"currency_code":"IQD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/4624\/6457\/files\/Letters-from-Russia.jpg?v=1785093252","url":"https:\/\/starlightlibrary.shop\/products\/letters-from-russia-by-marquis-de-custine","provider":"Starlight Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
