What we read at Russia Online

Books are what we do and love. It is true. Russia Online staff reads all the time: for fun, self-education, to learn more about the world and how it works, to learn about current events, or to become familiar with the world classics. We read in Russian, English, and German, and have very different tastes in literature. Love for books and reading makes being in book business even more interesting. Having constant access to books, we try not to miss anything noteworthy; however, the books we read do not often come from the shelves of our store..

We decided to start a new rubric in this blog and talk about books that we currently read:
A Dangerous Liaison (by Carole Seymour-Jones) is a biography of Simone DeBeauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.

"Seymour-Jones's narrative crackles and pops with engrossing anecdotes." - The Observer.

"Filled with delicious detail... eminently readable. Seymour-Jones's book is as page-turning as it is scholarly. The end result is quite dazzling." -The Guardian.

"Extremely detailed, well researched, and completely absorbing." - Booklist.

"Appearing in what might be called a 'sexography,' Sartre, the Nobel-winning existentialist philosopher, and Beauvoir, existentialist and pioneering feminist, cavort with a dizzying panoply of partners...A spiraling double-helix of a relationship whose sordid beauty fascinates even as it repels." - Kirkus

"An important contribution to the study of De Beauvoir and Sartre that will be appreciated both by general readers and by scholars of French literature and culture and women's studies." - Library Journal
