Coles Russia in 1916: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Stephen Graham's Russia in 1916 is a wartime travel narrative that moves from Arctic ports to Moscow salons, tracing a nation under strain yet still full of energy, argument, and endurance. Written as a direct exchange with Britain, the book mixes observation, personal encounter, and political reflection to show Russia not as a newspaper abstraction but as a living ally in crisis. Graham's journey begins with a tense passage by way of Norway's fjords and frontier harbors, then pushes into the bleak northern reaches where Russia is building railways and ports through darkness, frost, and swamp. He records the wartime transformation of Archangel from sleepy outpost to crowded international hub, its docks alive with soldiers, merchants, trams, cafés, and the uneasy meeting of old Russia and modern machinery. In Moscow, he finds commerce revived but shadowed by loss, while elsewhere he explores Russian literature, religion, prisons, and the inner life of suffering. The book also becomes a debate over Russia's future, especially in the clash around Gorky, Dostoevsky, and the nation's spiritual identity. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
