| Zusammenfassung: | In 1894, Eleanor L. Pray left her New England home to move to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East with her husband, a merchant apprentice. Over the next thirty-six years - from the time of Tsar Alexander III to the early years of Stalin's rule - she wrote over 2,000 letters chronicling her family life and the tumultuous social and political events she witnessed. Vladivostok, 5,600 miles east of Moscow, was shaped by a rich intersection of European and Asian cultures, and Pray's witty and observant writing paints a vivid picture of the city and its denizens during a period of momentous social change. The book offers highlights from Pray's letters, along with illuminating historical and biographical information. |

Pray left her New England home to move to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East with her husband, a merchant apprentice. Over the next thirty-six years - from the time of Tsar Alexander III to the early years of Stalin's rule - she wrote over 2,000 letters chronicling her family life and the tumultuous social and political events she witnessed. Vladivostok, 5,600 miles east of Moscow, was shaped by a rich intersection of European and Asian cultures, and Pray's witty and observant writing paints a vivid picture of the city and its denizens during a period of momentous social change. The book offers highlights from Pray's letters, along with illuminating historical and biographical information.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Pray, Eleanor Lord,</subfield><subfield code="d">1868-1954</subfield><subfield code="v">Correspondence.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Pray, Eleanor Lord,</subfield><subfield code="d">1868-1954</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJycMRpHwMpfQ9Y4H3Qwmd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Americans</subfield><subfield code="z">Russia (Federation)</subfield><subfield code="z">Vladivostok</subfield><subfield code="v">Correspondence.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vladivostok (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">Social life and customs</subfield><subfield code="y">19th century</subfield><subfield code="v">Sources.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vladivostok (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">Social life and customs</subfield><subfield code="y">20th century</subfield><subfield code="v">Sources.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vladivostok (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">19th century</subfield><subfield code="v">Sources.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vladivostok (Russia)</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">20th century</subfield><subfield code="v">Sources.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Historical.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY</subfield><subfield code="z">Europe</subfield><subfield code="x">Former Soviet Republics.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY</subfield><subfield code="z">Europe</subfield><subfield code="x">Russia & the Former Soviet Union.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Americans</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Manners and customs</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Russia (Federation)</subfield><subfield code="z">Vladivostok</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtH3mVqBTgggxmTdkpgKd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">1800-1999</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Personal correspondence</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sources</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Ingemanson, Birgitta,</subfield><subfield code="d">1944-</subfield><subfield code="e">writer of added commentary.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjCXd6mRVQVq4CkyrXxx6q</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Letters from Vladivostok, 1894-1930 (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFXfxc4KTcTxhmWqD9RV83</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Pray, Eleanor Lord, 1868-1954.</subfield><subfield code="s">Correspondence.</subfield><subfield code="t">Eleanor L.
