Russian Banya: History and Traditions
39.99 €

The bathhouse is an integral part of ancient Russian life. Since time immemorial, in the Russian tradition, the bathhouse has always been not only a place where you can wash and cleanse your body, but also a special, almost sacred structure where purification takes place not only on a physical but also on a spiritual level.
The publication contains unique texts that vividly and picturesquely present the history and traditions of the Russian bathhouse. Individual chapters of the book are devoted to the testimonies of ancient chroniclers, the memoirs of European travelers of the 16th-18th centuries, the works of Russian writers and historians, bathhouse customs, beliefs and omens.
The publication is colorfully illustrated with works of classical painting.
Compiled by: I.A. Koreshkin.
