In a dusty village overlooking the vast Russian steppes, she captivates her grandson and the other children of the village with wondrous tales—watching Proust play tennis in Neuilly, Tsar Nicholas II’s visit to Paris, French president Felix Faure dying in the arms of his mistress. But from his mysterious grandmother, Andrei also learns of a Russia he has never known: a country of famine and misery, brutal injustice, and the hopeless chaos of war.<br /><br />Enthralled, he weaves her stories into his own secret universe of memory and dream. She creates for him a vivid portrait of the France of her childhood, a distant Atlantis far more elegant, carefree, and stimulating than Russia in the 1970s and ‘80s. Her warm, artful memories of her homeland and of books captivate Andrei. Absorbed in this vision, he becomes an outsider in his own country, and eventually a restless traveler around Europe. <em>Dreams of My Russian Summers</em> is an epic full of passion and tenderness, pain and heartbreak, mesmerizing in every way. 02 Andrew Makine’s luminous and haunting novel—a New York Times Notable Book and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the... 04 03 72 01 http://www.arcadepub.com/resources/titles/55970100401490/images/55970100401490L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.arcadepub.com/resources/titles/55970100401490/images/55970100401490S.jpg http://www.arcadepub.com/book/?GCOI=55970100401490 Arcade Publishing 01 Skyhorse Publishing 04 20110515 02 AS GU MP PH PR US VI 03 ROW 01 0.8285226 in 02 0.5590032 in 03 0798576 in 07 6300065 National Book Company, Inc. http://www.wwnorton.com 02 WORLD AD AE AF AG AI AL AM AO CC AT AU AW AZ BA BB BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ BN BT RS BW BY CA CX AQ CF CG CH CI CK CM CU CV GS CY CZ DE DJ DK DM DZ EE EG EH ER ES ES ET FI FJ FK FM FO FR GA GB GB GB GD GE GF GH GI GL GM GN GQ GR IO GW GY KP HR HT HU IE IL IN MO IQ IR IS IT JM JO KE KG KI KM KN KW KY KZ LB LC LI LK LR LS LT LU LV LY MA MC MD MG MH UM ML MM MN YT MQ MR MS MT MU MV MW MZ NA NC NE NF NG NL NL NO NP NR NU OM PA PF PF PG PG PK PL PM PN PT PW QA RE RO RU RU RW SA SB SC SD SE SH SI SJ SK SL SM SN SO SR ST SY SZ TC TD BL TG TJ TK TM TN TO TR TT TV TZ UA UG UZ VA VC VG VU WF WS YE IM ZA ZM ZW ZW 02 Y 21 24 01 02 14.95 USD
