Reading Russian Fortunes

"Reading Russian fortunes examines the huge popularity and cultural impact of fortune-telling among urban and literate Russians from the eighteenth century to the present. Based partly on study of the numerous editions of little fortune-telling books, especially those devoted to dream interpretation, it documents and analyses the social history of fortune-telling in terms of class and gender, at the same time considering the function of both amateur and professional fortune-telling in a literate modernizing society."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: From the latter part of the eighteenth century until the Revolution, bookshops, market traders, and colporteurs all sold books and pamphlets on fortune-telling.
