Rissian Country Estates
One has only to say "the Russian country estate" and the following picture arises in one''s mind: wrought-iron fence lattice; collapsed stone entrance arch; overgrown alleys; deserted pavilions and summerhouses; the manor, where the steps and whisperings of former dwellers seem to be heard. It is as if we visualize the Larin house from Pushkin''s famous novel in verses, a "gentry''s nest" from Turgenev''s novel and "the splendid muzzles on the age-old gates" from Marina Tsvetaeva''s poem. Thanks to the classics, the Russian reader has been familiar with the world of country estates since childhood and has many nostalgic associations. The book you hold is devoted to some few surviving masterpieces of Russia''s estate art. You''ll read about the royal country estates, such as Gatchina, Tsaritsino, Massandra; the seats of nobleman''s culture - Kuskovo, Ostankino, Arkhangelskoe, Dubrovitsy, Alupka; the Russian Parnassus - the estates turned into workshops and studios by workers in the arts:… Издание на английском языке.

Annie Kelly Rooms to Inspire in the Country
Country living evokes bucolic landscapes and picturesque villages - rolling Connecticut countryside, verdant farmland, the sun-drenched hills of Malibu - and the architecture that echoes these idyllic settings. These houses, ranging from family estates to weekend retreats, are the personal homes of decorators and tastemakers, including Jonathan Adler, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, and Steven Gambrel. The properties exemplify varied design perspectives and provide fresh ideas about how country living is ideal for creative expression. This inspiring medley ranges from Tony Duquette's exotic pavilion-style California home to a charming New York Victorian, a modernist Palm Springs desert getaway by Neutra, a nineteenth-century Gothic cottage on Shelter Island, and an eighteenth-century Connecticut house. Along with design ideas for interiors, the book also covers the garden and pool areas. Since outdoor entertaining is an integral part of country living, a section devoted to tabletop display is included. These beautifully photographed inspirations encourage the reader to explore the design opportunities in the country guided by the best interior designers. Литература на английском языке.

Rubenhold Hallie The Five. The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.

Попова Наталия Санкт-Петербург = Saint Petersburg. Альбом (на аглийском языке)
This publication seeks to acquaint the reader not only with St Petersburg, but its environs too. Surrounding the northern capital are a number of former imperial country estates, strung out like jewels on an exquisite necklace. These are Peterhof, Tsarskoye Selo, Pavlovsk, Gatchina and Oranienbaum. Each has its own inimitable charm. Many of the palace and park ensembles came into being at the same time as St Petersburg itself. Although all of these magnificent country residences reflect the aesthetic tastes of a variety of historical eras, each one is stamped with the personality of its imperial owners. Not far from St Petersburg, on the island of Kotlin in the Gulf of Finland, lies the city of Kronstadt. Until recently, it was strictly out of bounds for tourists. Today, however, it is linked to the mainland by a road running along the dam, and welcomes those who wish to enjoy the beauty and originality of its naval fortress and charming town.

Steffens Martin Schinkel
As an architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) is considered one of finest in German history, having established a "new," patriotic German style based on the Gothic style; as a painter, draftsman, and designer of furniture, interior fittings, and stage sets, he created some of the best examples of 19th century art. His work was so admired by King Frederick William III that Schinkel acted as state architect of Prussia for nearly his entire career, designing many public buildings, palaces, and royal country estates, including the Royal Theater and Altes Museum in Berlin. So highly was Schinkel regarded that his contemporaries deemed him a genius and biographies were written about him during his lifetime. Издание на английском языке.

Ghosh Amitav The Glass Palace
Rajkumar is only another boy, helping on a market stall in the dusty square outside the royal palace, when the British force the Burmese King, Queen and all the Court into exile. He is rescued by the far-seeing Chinese merchant, and with him builds up a logging business in upper Burma. But haunted by his vision of the Royal Family, he journeys to the obscure town in India where they have been exiled. The story follows the fortunes – rubber estates in Malaya, businesses in Singapore, estates in Burma – which Rajkumar, with his Chinese, British and Burmese relations, friends and associates, builds up – from 1870 through the Second World War to the scattering of the extended family to New York and Thailand, London and Hong Kong in the post-war years.

Fiennes Jake Land Healer. How Farming Can Save Britain's Countryside
Our relationship with our land is broken: we must heal it. Jake Fiennes is on a mission to change the face of the English countryside. As Conservation Manager at Holkham in Norfolk, one of the country's largest historic country estates, his radical habitat restoration and agricultural work has nurtured its species and risen its crop yields - bringing back wetlands, hedgerows, birds and butterflies over 25,000 acres of land. But this isn't rewilding - there is no 'wild' in Britain anymore. Mass farming, crop science and industrial chemicals have destroyed the majority of our natural landscape and wildlife over the last century. Land Healer is the story of Fiennes's ambition to bring back our flora and fauna - by reclaiming our traditions and trialling new experiments which could restore our symbiosis with our land, and save our shared future. Following the farming year and the natural cycle of the seasons, Land Healer chronicles a life of conservation lived at the edges, and is a manifesto for rethinking our relationship with the natural world before it's too late.
