Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Leo Tolstoy and Mikhail Lermontov

Tolstoy, the most acclaimed of Russian authors, was so famous internationally that it is difficult to recall that other Russian fiction writers were as-or even more-popular with readers in Russia. Lermontov is one of those rivals, though it is Tolstoy who garnered the highest number of postcards in the early years of the medium. This book highlights the majestic range of cards printed to honour Tolstoy while alerting today's reader to the large number of cards in praise of Lermontov. With extensive explanatory text and captions.
