Russian Izba. Traditions and Customs
The book gathers material on how izba was built - from choosing the site and wood to erecting... the roof and porch, how housewarming parties were held, what rituals were performed to protect the house and make it more beautiful. The idea of the significance of the izba in a person's life runs like a red thread throughout the book: it is not just a roof over one’s head, but support, a foundation, and protection for the whole family, the entire lineage.
The book uses data from archaeological excavations, the works of well-known researchers of Russian antiquity from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and monuments of ancient Russian literature. It includes numerous reviews of the Russian izba and Russian construction customs. Text materials are supplemented with paintings by artists, engravings, and old photographs that have survived to our time.
