Abstract

The vast region of northern Russia, including Siberia, heavily forested with firs, pines, larch and birch trees, is the biggest and richest area in the world for buildings of all types made of wood. Written by two acknowledged experts in the field, this fascinating book examines the whole range of wooden structures in the region, with more than 250 illustrations, 40 in color. The Siberian settlements, mostly founded in the seven- teenth century by Cossack adventurers and fur traders, had massive timber fortifications. Log houses were built wherever the pioneers went and churches arose even in the most remote places. It was in the northern part of European Russia, however, that some of the world's most impressive, unusual, and beautiful wooden structures were produced. The isolation and inaccessibility of the villages in the northern forest zone, together with the scarcity of brick or stone, account for the immunity of north Russian timber building to outside influence. Many of these hamlets did not possess a single masonry building until the seventeenth century, nor had most of the inhabitants ever seen one. This volume presents a diversity of wooden structures, from huge cathedrals to miniature churches and monasteries, large houses, izbi, hunters' cabins, barns, wind- mills, grim fortress towers, little-known settlements, and famous reconstructions of whole groups of buildings, as in Kizhi. The special character of these buildings-inext cable from their setting and from the way of life that supported them-is evoked in a way that has never before been realized, drawing on the authors' unique archive of photographs, drawings and watercolors. The wealth of remarkable documentary material is complemented by the breathtaking color photographs taken by Vadim Gippenreiter, the great Russian photographer, who has for many years recorded with zeal the landscapes and wooden buildings of the far north and east. David Buxton, the foremost authority on the wooden churches of eastern Europe, has contributed an illuminating introduction, written from his own experience as a traveler in those remote regions since 1928.
