A Panoramic View, Russia’s Prestige: Historical Architecture, Published by Outskirts Press
Boston, MA, January 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Scholar and historian Kashif Parvaiz announced today the release of Russia’s Prestige: Historical Architecture, published by Outskirts Press. Parvaiz provides a comprehensive timeline of Russia’s architecture and its evolution and impact on the vision of the country, starting when the now powerful nation was only the tiny medieval state of Keiven Rus’.
“Russia is an enigma,” writes the author. “Its history, which is directly related to its architecture, is one rife with confusion and clarity, nationalism and rebellion, fear and love.”
Parvaiz takes readers on a fascinating and all-inclusive tour of Russian culture and history by providing a detailed look at the evolution of its architecture from the middle ages on. By examining the interrelationship of its culture, its politics and its architecture, the author brings readers a new appreciation of the growth of this magnificent Slavic personality just as if they had spent an evening sipping brandy side by side with an acquaintance now becoming an old friend.
Russia’s Prestige: Historical Architecture not only increases readers’ knowledge and understanding of such familiar Russian architectural faces as the Golden Gates of Kiev and the great Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, but it also introduces new characters, such as the St. Adronik Monastery and Kazan Cathedral, equally important to the evolution of the country.
Parvaiz’ work is a boon to academics researching Russian history, culture and architecture, but it is also a bedside read that will enhance the imagination of anyone curious to see the tandem progression of a nation’s buildings with the development of its own unique personality within the world.
Russia’s Prestige: Historical Architecture is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
