Narrative of a visit to the courts of Russia and Sweden, in the years 1830 and 1831. London: H. Colburn and R. Bentley, 1832. 2 vols. C9056 Description An account of the resource Location, Location... One can see from looking at a map that the piece of real estate Peter chose on which to plant a city might have been an ideal gate for trade from West to East and East to West for centuries. But most maps don't show what a sodden, marshy, insect and disease-ridden, unhealthy-for-humans swamp were the waterways at the mouth of the Neva at the beginning of the 18th century. It was poor land, sustaining a few fishing villages and trading posts; there was no source of fresh water here; the Neva was frozen from November through March. For those who did inhabit the area, timber was scant and had to be floated down the river for even the simplest of structures. But Peter had cast a determined eye on it and multitudes died in the process of turning the site into a city with more or less (mostly less) solid underpinnings that gave way nevertheless flood after flood, year after year. Pushkin's great poem, "The Bronze Horseman" has to do with the great flood of 1824, the worst one of all time. We don't learn, do we? Frankland's lithograph map of a flood control project shows how devoted was Peterborough's attempt to understand and control nature through science.

WSFC8a Description An account of the resource We've Come a Long Way, Baba. Leningrad, aiming as it was to be a new place in a new time with a new government and society was a natural for the ferment of a literature of science fiction. Strongly influenced by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, 20th century Petrograd/Leningrad/Petersburg represented to the literary avant-garde a futuristic, revolutionary utopia. It's fun to contrast this image with that of a hot air balloon in a Russian physics manual in our collections, by Petr Ivanovich Gilarovskii, published in 1793. We have come a long way, in spite of the recent Columbia disaster. Spencer Library began collecting science fiction in 1969 with a gift from lunar geologist Larry Friesen and through the efforts of Kansas University's own James E. Gunn, writer and head of the KU Center for the Study of Science Fiction, the Department of Special Collections is now the North American repository for world science fiction; it includes many Leningrad/St. Petersburg imprints. Both the printed books and manuscripts get heavy use by scholars from around the world. This diagram, from a volume about the Russian space station "Saliut," is, of course, science fact rather than fiction. "Saliut" was actually the name of a series of Soviet space stations orbiting Earth since 1971. Cosmonaut V.I. Sevastianov, who was one of the crew of Soyuz 18, launched to deliver cosmonauts to the station, spent 63 days in space and inscribed our copy to Sci Fi writer Frederick Pohl who in turn gave it as a gift to our WSF (World Science Fiction) collection.

Howey C2112 Description An account of the resource Coals From Newcastle. Near the end of the 18th century the English replaced the French in Peterborough as the ethnic group to imitate. The English were fewer than the Germans and French and they were almost non-existent in the provinces, that is to say, anywhere but Peterborough. Scots naturalists and physicians were of great significance, if not in great numbers. The British brought everything with them and set up their own quarters with their own churches, social clubs, and even their own coal for their own use, and yes, it was from Newcastle. It is said that English imports (with the exception of coal), e.g. horses, beer, fabrics, pottery, optical instruments, all to sell, soon became necessities rather than luxuries for the Russian upper classes and began to be produced in factories founded and run by the British. It was even said by the Brits themselves that beer and porter brewed in Peterborough was superior to the English product. Other sorts of British craftsman were in great demand in the city: watchmakers, stonemasons, shoemakers, saddlers, and, of course, teachers of the English language.

E874, no. 1 Description An account of the resource Come on Baba, Light my Fire... The Zhar Ptitsa, or Firebird, is one of the most important of the ex-patriot magazines of art, literature, and dance published in the Russian diaspora after World War I. The title is a no-brainer: it's one of the best known images from Russian folk-lore known around the world in Russian literature, painting, folk-art and, of course, music. The firebird's fiery feathers glow in the dark. The tale of the firebird was first published in an 18th century Russian folktale in which three brothers are sent to catch the bird (to help keep the frost off the windows?)

Dublin: Issued by the Friends of Soviet Russia (Irish Section), 1930. O’Hegarty C4267 Description An account of the resource When Irish Eyes Aren't Smiling. This little pamphlet contains the impressions of an Irish delegation of their six-week tour at invitation of the All-Russian Trade Union Council to investigate conditions in the Soviet Union. A number of days were spent in Leningrad at both beginning and end of the trip. It is reported that on the boat trip back to that city they sat in the "Lenin Corner" of the recreation room, along with a bust of Lenin and a piano. "They ... put us ashore early one morning at Leningrad, to, I believe, the regret of the entire delegation." The writer remarks further, that, "It [Leningrad] lacks the life and colour of Moscow, but architecturally it is a much finer city."

The book was produced "not for sale," but for distribution at the New York World's fair and was aimed at a western audience. Our copy was a gift from John H.
