Synopsis
Black Earth City is a portrait of a love affair, a city, and a society in the throes of transition. ..It is 1991 and the dismantling of the Soviet Union is underway. The KGB are looting state assets, the Southern borders are breaking up into small-scale wars and the shops that winter are empty. At first little of this is apparent in the conservative and secluded atmosphere of Voronezh, but as the year progresses a sense of light-headedness, part fear, part exhilaration, pervades the community. In quick and elegant prose Charlotte Hobson captures the lives of her young contemporaries - Yegor, and his brutal memories of military service; Zossya, stoking the boiler of a house for deaf and dumb people; Sasha, blowing a million roubles of the Salvation Army's money on a taxi to Minsk to see a girl. For these young Russians, the only way out is often death or the oblivion of drugs. At the end of the year, nothing can ever be the same again., The story of a young woman's heady encounter with Russia - and a society in collapse. In 1991, Charlotte Hobson went to study for a year in the provincial town of Voronezh. She captures the lives of her young contemporaries as the Soviet Union breaks up around them: Viktor, and his brutal memories of military service; Lola who sleeps with her fellow students for a share of their dinner; Yakov, blowing a million roubles of the Salvation Army's money on a taxi to Minsk to see a girl. Here too is the author's story and Mitya's. Their love affair begins in a mood of wild optimism. Anything, it seems, is possible. Until in spring the snow thaws, and reveals the black earth beneath.

- _***d (6)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- b***3 (502)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaAs the title mentions awesomebooksusa, most books have been rarely awesome but the book prices have been almost generous, granted. Unbelievable services : 3 day international shipping, prompt dispatch, newly book condition, provided tracking, secure package, exactly received book, and safe deliveries. My gratitude to the seller’s thoughts of the needy buyers sending the wanted books to the new residence. Many thanks! Arabella
