Title: Mud and Stars Author: Sara Wheeler Narrator: Sara Wheeler Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins Release date: 11-05-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 22 ratings Genres: Russia Publisher's Summary: With the writers of the Golden Age as her guides - Pushkin and Tolstoy, among others - Sara Wheeler searches for a Russia not in the news, traveling from rinsed northwestern beet fields and the Far Eastern Arctic tundra to the cauldron of nationalities, religions, and languages in the Caucasus. Wheeler follows local guides; boards with families in modest homestays; eats roe, pelmeni, and cabbage soup; invokes recipes from Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking; learns the language; and observes the pattern of outcry and silence that characterizes life under Vladimir Putin.
