The Marquis de Custine's record of his trip to Russia in 1839 is a brilliantly perceptive, even prophetic, account of one of the world's most fascinating and troubled countries. It is also a wonderful piece of travel writing. Custine, who met with people in all walks of life, including the Czar himself, offers vivid descriptions of St. Petersburg and Moscow, of life at court and on the street, and of the impoverished Russian countryside. But together with a wealth of sharply delineated incident and detail, Custine's great work also presents an indelible picture--roundly denounced by both Czarist and Communist regimes--of a country crushed by despotism and "intoxicated with slavery."
Letters from Russia , here published in a new edition prepared by Anka Muhlstein, the author of the Goncourt Prize-winning biography of Custine, stands with Tocqueville's Democracy in America as a profound and passionate encounter with historical forces that are still very much at work in the world today.

作者 | 阿斯托尔夫·德·屈斯蒂纳(1790—1857)
生于法国大革命开始的时候,卒于第二帝国时期。他的父亲被处死在断头台上,他和母亲侥幸在恐怖年代活了下来。作为小有名气的诗人和小说家,屈斯蒂纳因为发表了两本游记《斐迪南七世统治下的西班牙》和《俄国来信》而赢得了认可,后一本游记对沙皇俄国专制制度的根源和特点作了意义深远的分析。
