Summary:
On découvre avec ce livre de Nicola Navone l'un des plus vastes mouvements créateurs dont la Suisse puisse s'honorer. Il s'agit du flux migratoire multiséculaire qui, partant de quelques villages proches de Lugano, a conduit des milliers de maçons, contremaîtres, stucateurs et autres artisans du bâtiment, ainsi qu'architectes, chefs de travaux et urbanistes, à bâtir dans toute l'Europe. Ils s'activent sur des chantiers monumentaux jusqu'aux pays du Nord et de l'Est. C'est en Russie que cette étude nous introduit à cette épopée technique, artistique et humaine, lorsque Pierre le Grand, pour construire Saint-Pétersbourg, s'adresse à Domenico Trezzini. Mais ce Tessinois fut accompagné et suivi par beaucoup d'autres bâtisseurs qui ont lié leurs noms à l'histoire de l'architecture russe et européenne.

In this '"Very Short Introduction," Geoffrey Hosking discusses all aspects of Russian history, from the struggle by the state to control society to the transformation of the nation into a multi-ethnic empire, Russia's relations with the West, and the post-Soviet era. Hosking, a leading international authority, examines Russian history in an impartial way, arguing that "Good Russia" and "Bad Russia" are one and the same. He also evaluates important individuals in Russian history, from Peter the Great and Catherine II to Lenin and Stalin.

Summary:
This is the first book to show the development of Russian architecture over the past thousand years as a part of the history of Western architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, Russia’s leading architectural historian, departs from the accepted notion that Russian architecture developed independent of outside cultural influences and demonstrates that, to the contrary, the influence of the West extends back to the tenth century and continues into the present. He offers compelling assessments of all the main masterpieces of Russian architecture and frames a radically new architectural history for Russia. The book systematically analyzes Russian buildings in relation to developments in European art, pointing out where familiar European features are expressed in Russian projects. Special attention is directed toward decorations based on Byzantine models; the heritage of Italian master builders and carvers; the impact of architects and others sent by Elizabeth I; the formation of the Russian Imperial Baroque; the Enlightenment in Russian art; and 19th- and 20th-century European influences. With over 300 specially commissioned photographs of sites throughout Russia and western Europe, this magnificent book is both beautiful and groundbreaking.
