Beyond Holy Russia
Author: Michael Hughes
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783740124
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This biography examines the long life of the traveller and author Stephen Graham. Graham walked across large parts of the Tsarist Empire in the years before 1917, describing his adventures in a series of books and articles that helped to shape attitudes towards Russia in Britain and the United States. In later years he travelled widely across Europe and North America, meeting some of the best known writers of the twentieth century, including H.G.Wells and Ernest Hemingway. Graham also wrote numerous novels and biographies that won him a wide readership on both sides of the Atlantic. This book traces Graham’s career as a world traveller, and provides a rich portrait of English, Russian and American literary life in the first half of the twentieth century. It also examines how many aspects of his life and writing coincide with contemporary concerns, including the development of New Age spirituality and the rise of environmental awareness. Beyond Holy Russia is based on extensive research in archives of private papers in Britain and the USA and on the many works of Graham himself. The author describes with admirable tact and clarity Graham’s heterodox and convoluted spiritual quest. The result is a fascinating portrait of a man who was for many years a significant literary figure on both sides of the Atlantic.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Caution to Anglers: Or 'the Practical Angler', And 'the Modern Practical Amgler' Compared That Mr. Pennell should write a book, whether he had any information to impart or not, is a matter of which no one can complain. That he should call that book, however, by a title so similar to mine, my publishers complained of to his, and requested them to alter it, as the similarity or title might lead to purchasers getting the one book when they wished the other. As they declined to do this, and I am afraid that, in spite of the discovery of a previous Practical Angler, any confusion in this way might be chiefly detrimental to The Practical Angler which goes by my name, I publish this pamphlet - portions of which have already appeared in the Field - to show that the similarity is almost entirely confined to the title, and that no two systems of fly-fishing could be more different than those advocated in The Practical Angler, and The Modern Practical Angler.
