### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A long book, but a fascinating book
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2014*

I find this book to be extremely interesting. The author spent years studying the topic and Russian culture in general. He addresses a huge amount of data from his studies of Russian magic and divination.What I find most interesting about the book is that he examines some of the accepted ideas from scholarship about Russian culture and asks if they are valid. He argues, for example, that "dvoeverie" is not a uniquely Russian phenomenon, but that it is typical of many cultures that accepted Christianity. Too often, in my opinion, scholarship about Russia created concepts about Russian culture without addressing the same or similar phenomena in other cultures. This parochialism is going away in recent years. Whether the author intended it or not, this book contributes to the weakening of that parochialism.At least that's my opinion.

    Only purchase this as a Kindle book unless you can easily read 19 characters per inch of text
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022*

The publisher decided to save money by reducing what should have been a 700 page book to 500 pages  by using a tiny font. Then to save on the cost of ink they decided to use a very fine typeface which makes it even more difficult to read.  Every Russian word is printed  in Italics making interpreting unfamiliar names almost impossible. In the library where I worked I normally used 11 characters per inch on call number spine labels not anything nearly as tiny as 19 characters per inch. I also used a highly visible typeface like Colibri or Times Roman.  When you order this book you will not receive an original 1999 copy printed in the UK. Instead you will receive a Print on Demand copy which on the very last page stated that it was printed in Las Vegas on March 8 2022. The cost of this book was just significantly increased. It isn’t worth the cost unless you feel comfortable reading it with a high quality Bausch & Lomb magnifying glass of something better.
