Lost Russia by William Craft Brumfield
The twentieth century in Russia has been a cataclysm of rare proportions, as war, revolution, famine, and massive political terror tested the limits of human endurance. This title provides a view of author's photographic work, which illuminates Russian culture as reflected in these remnants of its distinctive architectural traditions.
"The reader is offered a full, rich experience not only through what is seen and illustrated in the exquisite photographs, but also through the astute accounts of the journeys themselves, the impressions and personal reflections. . . As well as an evocative journey in time, the book is an elegant art book." -- Natalia Berg * East-West Review *
“Lost Russia is Brumfield's shortest but most moving book. It could be subtitled ‘a meditative elegy in photographs and words.’ . . . William Brumfield's photographs can be looked at like going on an inspirational and edifying retreat. The images may or may not remain in your memory, but the subtle effect that they have on your psyche will.” -- Archpriest Alexander Garklavs * St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly *
