LEMPERT, David H.

Daily Life in a Crumbling Empire: the Absorption fo Russia into the World Economy (2 vols)

Boulder: East European Monographs, 1996. First Edition. First printing. Two thick octavo volumes; blue cloth hardcovers, titled in gilt on spines; xliii,[1]-949; 950-1761pp. Tight, clean and unmarked – a new-appearing set.

A wide-ranging, ambitious, and above all massive study, described by one reviewer at the time as, "daunting to the eye, difficult to use, and, most important, priced beyond the reach of all but the largest and best-endowed libraries...this is a great pity, for there can be no doubt that Lempert has done important, useful, and very timely work that deserves the close attention of social scientists in a number of fields..." (Stephen P. Dunn, American Anthropologist, March 1998, p.238ff).
