摘要
"How did a country with such a tormented past bring such stunning works of art into being? To answer this question, W. Bruce Lincoln explores ten centuries of artistic endeavor in a land uniquely suspended between East and West, past and future sacred and secular Surveying art in all its forms, Between Heaven and Hell tells the stories of Russia's greatest novelists, poets, painters, composers, dancers, architects, and filmmakers as they struggled to extract beauty from their nation's painful life, and shaped the masterpieces that the world now acclaims as purely and uniquely Russian." "Focusing on the artists in context, Between Heaven and Hell brings the triumph and tragedy of the Russian experience into full view. It vividly illustrates the workings of the creative process in a land in which politics and the arts have been closely intertwined. And it keenly describes the unique fashion in which Russian artists created their work through assimilating and transforming other cultural forms - giving birth to masterpieces unlike any others on earth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

《書目》(Booklist)評論
In his previous books, Lincoln, an acclaimed Russian historian, concentrated on the sort of political subjects scholars of his ilk usually focus on, dynasties and wars; but the ever-evolving state of artistic expression in Russia has long intrigued him, so here he gives it his full attention. Beginning with Old Russia, where art and faith were inextricably intertwined, Lincoln moves grandly forward into the secular revolutions of the two "Greats," Peter and Catherine, the Romantic era, the backlash of realism, the optimistic avant-garde, and finally, tragically, the Soviet era when artists became criminals. The range, degree of detail, and narrative polish Lincoln achieves is nothing short of astonishing as he covers every artistic front from a variety of perspectives and reveals the dynamic interaction among all art forms and their profound effects on society, profiling, in the process, a pantheon of writers, painters, composers, dancers, and architects. Here are perspicacious considerations of Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Tsvetaeva, and Brodsky; Repin, Goncharova, and Male-vich; Pavlova and Diaghilev; Prokofiev and Shostakovich, and dozens of others--all the creative personalities that have defined, celebrated, and mourned Russia's soul. --Donna Seaman
