A Russian Journal

This title deals with the two artists, who at the height of their powers, answer their needs to document human struggle.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Just as the Iron Curtain fell on Eastern Europe, Steinbeck and Capa began a remarkable journey through the Soviet Union. Their travels took them to Moscow and Stalingrad.

What they saw and recorded was what Steinbeck called the "great other side", the ordinary lives of Russian men and women. Combining Steinbeck's compassion, humour, and eye for detail with Capa's photographic studies, this text is a unique portrait of Russia and its people as they emerged from the ravages of war.

Here too is an intimate glimpse of two great artists at work.
