Steinbeck. Russian diary
69.99 €
"The Russian Diary" by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Steinbeck and renowned war photographer Robert Capa is a classic of reportage and travel writing. The two masters' forty-day trip through the Soviet Union in 1947 was an expedition of the curious. Capa and Steinbeck "wanted to capture everything the eye fell upon and to construct from observation and reflection a kind of structure that would serve as a model of observed reality." The structure they chose for their book - and in fact the dominant metaphor of The Russian Diary - is a portrait of the Soviet Union. A portrait in a frame. They have seen and captured with care on paper and on film what Steinbeck called "the great other side - the private lives of Russian people." "The Russian Diary" remains to this day a remarkable memoir and unique historical document.
