Description

A Russian Paints America presents the first complete English translation of Svin'in's fascinating memoir.

Thirty-one original watercolours complement his provocative views on topics such as slavery, religion, politics, and the fine arts.

Introductory essays by Marina Swoboda and William Whisenhunt examine Russian-American relations, consider Svin'in's life and particular role in Russian history, and set his work in the context of the genre of picturesque travel - Svin'in clearly did not set out to produce a scholarly account of the United States but a work of literature, at a time when Russian literary language was in its earliest stages of development.
