Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an intriguing and multifaceted account of one landownerâs experiences with his serfs in 1850s Russia. The author, a young man in his early twenties, attempts to transform his estate into a model of enlightened self-sufficiency, where the serfs live with dignity and the lan…d is nurtured. The bookâs chapters are a series of vignettes that vividly illustrate the challenges he faces in this endeavor. The authorâs encounters with individual serfs open up a window into a world of grinding poverty and oppression, from which he learns that true change will not come from lofty ideas but from a profound understanding of their day-to-day realities. This book not only offers a unique insight into the dynamics of serfdom in prerevolutionary Russia, but is also a fascinating study of one manâs idealism versus the harsh realities of the world he sought to change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
