Between Heaven and Hell - The Myth of Siberia in Russian Culture (Hardcover)

Siberia has no history of independent political existence, no claim
to a separate ethnic identity, and no clear borders. Yet, it could
be said that the elusive country 'behind the Urals' is the most
real and the most durable part of the Russian landscape. For
centuries, Siberia has been represented as Russia's alter ego, as
the heavenly or infernal antithesis to the perceived complexity or
shallowness of Russian life. It has been both the frightening heart
of darkness and a fabulous land of plenty; the 'House of the Dead'
and the realm of utter freedom; a frozen wasteland and a colourful
frontier; a dumping ground for Russia's rejects and the last refuge
of its lost innocence. The contributors to Between Heaven and Hell
examine the origin, nature, and implications of these images from
historical, literary, geographical, anthropological, and linguistic
perspectives. They create a striking, fascinating picture of this
enormous and mysterious land.
