A Russian Journal

In "A Russian Journal," Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Steinbeck and acclaimed photographer Robert Capa provide a compelling account of their travels through Cold War Russia, just after the Iron Curtain fell. Their journey takes them from Moscow to Volgograd and into the Ukrainian countryside, capturing the lives of ordinary Russians recovering from World War II. This unique memoir, praised by the New York Times, blends Steinbeck's evocative prose with Capa's poignant photography, offering an unfiltered look at the struggles of the Soviet people without ideological bias. The edition also includes an introduction by Steinbeck scholar Susan Shillinglaw.
