Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0801424100, Hardcover)

Winner of the 1994 Heldt Prize from the Association of Women in Slavic Studies

A detailed and colorful instruction manual on household management in sixteenth-century Russia, the Domostroi gives a fascinating glimpse of the world of the nobility. This "how-to" guide is one of the few sources on the social history and secular life of Russia in the time of Ivan the Terrible. Carolyn Johnston Pouncy here offers, with an informative introduction, the first complete English translation.
