A Historian at the Source: Political History of the 18th Century in Documents and Commentary
19.99 €
This collection includes the most striking and engaging works by renowned historian Evgeny Anisimov, united by the theme of 18th-century Russia. All of them focus on crucial moments in Russian political history and present source-research essays, in which authentic documents are thoroughly commented on and placed in their cultural context. The author himself writes: "We historians cannot exist without sources—these priceless testimonies of the past—for the law of science is cruel: no source (whatever it may be—a book, a manuscript, or any artifact)—no history, no past."

Each study in this book reads in one breath, like a detective story or an adventure novel, without losing its high scholarly significance.
