Gifts of the Russian Forest. Mushrooms, Berries and Medicinal Plants

Gifts of the Russian Forest. Mushrooms, Berries and Medicinal Plants

The works of writer and naturalist Nikolai Zolotnitsky (1851–1920) on the history and properties of medicinal herbs, vegetables, berries, and fruits were steadfast companions of the Russian gardener and farmer more than a hundred years ago. This book will open... up the universe of the Russian forest to us—a world of mushrooms, berries, herbs, as well as the inhabitants of meadows, fields, and forest thickets. “Gifts of the Russian Forest” is an undeservedly forgotten masterpiece of domestic literature, rivaling the mastery of Aksakov, Prishvin, and Paustovsky. For the first time, this famous book is being published with a new series of illustrations—paintings by virtuosos of landscape and botanical painting, as well as rare illustrations from publications of the turn of the 19th to the early 20th century.
