Description:
London England: Headline Review, 2003. Hardcover. First Edition. The Taste of Dreams. Russians have a special word for the dangerous wildness of peiople like my caviar eaters, living disobediently among the timid in a giant bureaucracy, ignoring the absurdly strict rules, glimmering darkly with selfish glee. The word is azart....Azart makes you rich. It makes you powerful. It brinds you limos and lovers for everyday of the week. Even saying the word out loud makes you open your eyes wide with excitement and flare your nostrils. It dazzles and sizzles. To a Russian, caviar is edible azart. 276 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.) . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.

The Taste of Dreams is both a quest for the romantic Russia of the author’s dreams, and a tale of amazement as she discovers and gets caught up in the new, anarchic Russia emerging from its Soviet constraints. At its heart is the story of caviar—beluga, the rarest type of sturgeon, harvested from the Caspian Sea. It is now an endangered species, and no one knows how to—or wants to—stop the plunder. Intelligent, funny, and enormously engaging, this is a modern tour through the intricacies of the new Russia. Vanora Bennett writes for The Times of London and is a former Moscow correspondent for Reuters and the Los Angeles Times. She is the author of Crying Wolf: The Return of War to Chechnya.
