Bread of Exile
Bread of Exile tells a remarkable story of the Russian nobility both before and after the October Revolution. It draws on hitherto unpublished private diaries, memoirs and notebooks spanning almost two centuries, written by Dimitri Obolensky's father, Prince Dimitri Aleksandrovich Obolensky, his mother, Countess Mary Shuvalov, his step-father Count Andre Tolstoy, his grandmother Countess Sandra Shuvalov, and his great-aunt, Sofka Demidov. The members of Dimitri Obolensky's family were aristocratic witnesses to successive phases of Russian history. These texts provide a fascinating documentation of life at the courts of Tsar Alexander III and Nicholas II, of the revolutionary unrest before and during World War I, the rise of Bolshevism, civil war and the realities of exile and emigration. The book gives an exceptional insight into the state of mind of the Russian emigre population and concludes with reminiscences of his childhood and his distinguished academic career by Sir Dimitri Obolensky himself.
Russians in Exile
Prince Alexis S. Troubetzkoy, Executive Director of the Tolstoy Foundation in New York, is a relative of the author. He finds Russian in Exile - the History of a Diaspora an extremely interesting book. Mr. Alexei Triumfov, Head of Foreign Rights of Novosti Publishers in Moscow, is also Russian, but has a completely different background. Yet he addresses the author as `Your Excellency', and he's sure that the book will be in great demand in Russia. Mr. Daniel P. King, literary agent from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, told the author: `There is a great interest in this country in books on this subject.' Mrs. Liz Knights, publisher at Victor Gollancz (Cassell Group) in London: `an extremely interesting typescript'. Another insider of the international publishing branch: Mr. Geoff Shandler (Random House, New York): `I am impressed with the sheer amount of effort that you have put into the book. I do think that it has improved greatly since the last time I read it!'
