Everyday Life of the Russian North

The book publishes one of the most significant works of the outstanding Russian writer and thinker Vasily Ivanovich Belov "Order. Everyday Life of the Russian North", revealing the spiritual world of the peasant.
The Russian civilization of the peasant community, family, household, work and leisure, crafts and arts, customs and language appears in an ideally "orderly" state, as history remembers it and as the writer sees it. Order is born from the correct rhythmicity of the entire cycle of earthly life.
The author skillfully combines ethnographic accuracy with moral truth. His speech is sometimes pictorial, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes gently ironic, but always strong, orderly, and clear in concepts and assessments, always appropriately includes the people's word, which gives the book exceptional historical and artistic value.
