{"product_id":"9781861892409","title":"Moscow","description":"\u003cbr\u003eNo European city has undergone as much upheaval in the past fifteen years as Moscow. The stage for the fall of a world empire and the rebirth of a globally-connected Russia, Moscow has transformed from a monochrome capital city to a new Babylon iridescent with neon lights. Karl Schlögel's \u003ci\u003eMoscow\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating and engaging portrait of this international metropolis in transformation.\u003cp\u003eFirst published in German in 1984, and now rapidly attaining the status of a classic work, this debut English edition of \u003ci\u003eMoscow\u003c\/i\u003e has been updated with a new introduction and conclusion covering the post-Soviet period. Schlögel describes the modern history of Moscow from various aspects as he explores the city's streets and unearths the rich histories of its buildings, monuments, and parks. A city where the past and future continually clash, Moscow struggles to define its global role in the twenty-first century, and Karl Schlögel's insightful essays in \u003ci\u003eMoscow\u003c\/i\u003e provide a valuable window into the complex and resilient character of the ever-evolving capital and its citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039472009456,"sku":"9781861892409","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781861892409_p0.jpg?v=1763600935","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781861892409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
