However, few works detail this history, overshadowed by the two world wars that followed.

After a dispute with Ottoman religious leaders in 1853, Russian troops invaded a disputed area in present-day Romania, bringing Britain and Turkey's estrangement from Russia to a boiling point. French opinion was less passionate, but Napoleon III's desire for military glory was strong enough to encourage his participation in the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary conflict inflamed the rivalry between Russia and the Ottoman Empire over the Balkans, destabilized relations between the European powers, and lit the spark for World War I. Having virtually redrawn the map of Europe and caused the deaths of countless military personnel and civilians, the Crimean War was fought with industrial technology and marked by soldiers entrenched in the snow, surgeons working on the battlefield, press coverage by correspondent reporters, and the fanatical and haunted figure of Tsar Nicholas I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Through a lucid, vivid and sensitive account, in \u003cem\u003eCrimea\u003c\/em\u003e , Orlando Figes sheds light on the geopolitical, cultural and religious factors that shaped each power's involvement in this struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159234822396,"sku":"9788501097361","price":129.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5e035df224729086b179f17209a3ebea_809c233d-d2c2-4aa0-aa8a-5db3f5f604dd.jpg?v=1778317069"},{"product_id":"os-europeus-o-seculo-xix-e-o-surgimento-de-uma-cultura-cosmopolita","title":"The Europeans: The 19th Century and the Emergence of a Cosmopolitan Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFrom the renowned author of \u003cem\u003eA Cultural History of Russia\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eWhispers\u003c\/em\u003e , and \u003cem\u003eThe Tragedy of a People\u003c\/em\u003e , \u003cem\u003eThe Europeans\u003c\/em\u003e explores how the 19th-century railway age ushered in the first period of cultural globalization.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In Europe, the 19th century was a period of extraordinary artistic achievement. It was also the first era of cultural globalization—a time when mass communication and high-speed rail travel brought all countries closer together, overcoming the barriers of nationalism. Thus, a truly European canon emerged in art, music, and literature. By 1900, the entire continent read the same books, reproduced the same paintings, listened to the same music in their homes and concert halls, and attended the same operas in the greatest theaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDrawing on a rich collection of documents, letters, and other archival material, award-winning historian Orlando Figes analyzes the interplay between money and art, essential for the new reality to take shape. At the heart of the book is the love triangle between Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, Spanish mezzo-soprano Pauline Viardot, with whom Turgenev had a long and intimate relationship, and her husband, Louis Viardot, an art critic, theater manager, and republican activist. Together, Turgenev and the Viardots functioned as a kind of cultural nexus in Europe—they knew or crossed paths with Delacroix, Berlioz, Chopin, Brahms, Liszt, the Schumanns, Victor Hugo, Flaubert, Dickens, and Dostoevsky, among other giants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs Figes observes, nearly all of civilization's great advances occurred during periods of intense cosmopolitanism—when people, ideas, and artistic creations circulated freely between nations.

Many books describe the external aspects of this period—the arrests and trials, the enslavements and murders in the Gulag—but this is the first to deeply explore its influence on the lives of those who suffered Stalin's oppression. How did Soviet people conduct their private lives during Stalin's rule? What did people really think and feel? What kind of daily life was possible in the cramped communal apartments, where rooms were shared by an entire family—sometimes even more—and conversations could be overheard in the next room? What did private life mean when the state controlled almost every aspect of it through legislation, surveillance, and ideology?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe moral sphere of the family is Orlando Figes's primary focus. The author explores how these groups reacted to the various pressures of the Soviet regime. And not a few were affected by the terror: estimates show that around 25 million people were repressed by the Soviet regime between 1928, when Stalin assumed party leadership, and 1953, the year of the dictator's death and the end of his reign of terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eWhispers\u003c\/em\u003e is based on hundreds of documents (letters, diaries, personal papers, memoirs, photographs, and objects) hidden until recently by survivors of Stalin's terror in drawers and under mattresses in homes across Russia.
