Description
A Russian Journal is a remarkable memoir and unique historical document, distilled from the journey of two famous travellers, John Steinbeck and Robert Capa, into the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II. The book offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of factory workers, government clerks, and peasants, as they emerged from the rubble of war. Steinbeck and Capa's travels took them through Moscow, Stalingrad, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus, providing a unique perspective on the Soviet Union at a pivotal moment in its history. Their recordings offer a candid look at the human struggle, as they documented the daily lives of ordinary people in a time of great upheaval. This book is a valuable historical document, written by two artists at the height of their powers, and remains an important record of their journey and the people they met along the way.
