Description
Pushkin in Moscow archives. On materials of the Jubilee А. С. Пушкин в московских архивах. По материалам юбилейной выставки 1999 года
Издательство: Московские учебники и Картолитография, 2001 г. Мягкая обложка, 176 стр. Тираж: 1500 экз. Формат: 70x100/16 (~167x236 мм) Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации Составители: Нонна Марченко, Ф. Рысина. От издателя Пушкин не был архивистом, как некоторые из его друзей, - "архивных юношей", столь блестяще начинавших свою литературную и служебную карьеру в Московском архиве Коллегии иностранных дел, расположившемся на углу Хохловского и Колпачного переулков. Но Пушкин немало потрудился в российских архивах, которые дали ему богатейший материал, использованный им с неповторимой виртуозностью и неподражаемым проникновением в прошлое в "Капитанской дочке", "Арапе Петра Великого", "Истории Пугачева" и других произведениях. Пушкин очень хотел повторить путешествие по архивам новейшего для него времени, предпринятого его великим современником Н.М.Карамзиным, на плечах творчества которого он вырос. Николай Михайлович, как известно, в самом начале века по императорскому указу получил возможность "невозбранно пользоваться" всеми российскими архивами. Что он блестяще и сделал. У Пушкина лишь отчасти получилось то же самое, о чем сегодня нам приходится лишь горевать. Потому что, конечно же, архивные богатства России дали бы его искрометному гению десятки и сотни новых сюжетов. Но Пушкин не был бы Пушкиным, если бы не использовал для своего творчества все те возможности, которые изредка предоставляло ему его время. Тома "Истории государства Российского" Карамзина, опубликованные без светской и духовной цензуры, были одной из таких возможностей знакомства с архивными документами. Так появился "Борис Годунов". Гражданин России, как и все россияне в прошлом, настоящем и будущем, Пушкин оставил свой след в документах московских архивов - сначала просто как человек, волею Бога появившийся на свет, потом - как поэт и писатель, уже современниками признанный гением.

Publisher: Moscow Textbooks and Kartolitografiya, 2001 Paperback, 176 pages. Russian text Circulation: 1500 copies. Format: 70x100/16 (~ 167x236 mm) Coated Paper, Color illustrations Compiled by: Nona Marchenko, F. Rysin. From the Publisher Pushkin was not archivists, as some of his friends - "archival youths, so brilliant beginning to his literary and official career in the Moscow archives of the College of Foreign Affairs, situated on a corner and Khokhlovskiy and Kolpachny lanes. But Pushkin is a lot of work in Russian archives, which has given him a wealth of material, to use his virtuosity with a unique and inimitable insight into the past in "The Captain's Daughter," "Negro of Peter the Great," "History of Pugachev" and other works. Pushkin was very much like to repeat the journey through the archives of the latest time for him made by his great contemporaries, N.M. Karamzin, on the shoulders of creativity which he grew up. Nikolai Mikhailovich, as you know, at the very beginning of the century by imperial decree was able to "forbidding use of" all the Russian archives. What he did brilliantly. Pushkin is only partly got the same thing about what we are now only lament. Because, of course, the archival riches of Russia would give its effervescent genius of tens and hundreds of new plots. But Pushkin Pushkin would not have been, if not used for his work all the opportunities that rarely provided to him by his time. Volumes of the History of the Russian state, "Karamzin published without the secular and religious censorship, have been one such opportunity acquaintance with archival documents. So there's "Boris Godunov." A citizen of Russia, like all Russians in the past, present and future, Pushkin made his mark in the documents of the Moscow archives - first simply as a man who found God came to being, then - as a poet and writer, has already recognized the genius of his contemporaries.

Welcome to Littleton Cotterell,a small village in Glouchestershire. The year is 1908, and Lady Emily Hardcastle and her intrepid maid, Florence Armstrong, are looking to settle in to the nice, quiet, retired life after several years spent adventuring around the world.
Naturally, such plans are always disrupted. In this case, the two women discover a dead body hanging from a tree while out on a morning walk. The death is meant to appear as a suicide, but certain inconsistencies seen to point more towards murder. With the local constabulary over their heads, Lady Hardcastle and Flo must draw on their previous experiences to solve the murder before anyone else gets hurt.
The mystery goes off in fairly expected fashion, with the eccentric and kindly Lady Hardcastle relying on her witty and resourceful maid. There are suspicious characters and red herrings aplenty. And, naturally, the initial mystery gets wrapped up in several others in the course of the book.
I will say this for A Quiet Life in the Country: it does not take itself too seriously. The usual tropes of the cozy mystery are addressed with a wink and a nudge (such as one character explaining to Lady Hardcastle that the tiny, 30 person village she just moved to is actually the murder capital of the country). I appreciate the effort made to acknowledge all the commonly used bits that go into a cozy murder mystery, and it certainly helped to dispel a feeling of deja vu.
In all, if you’re looking for a nice, quick mystery with not one but two strong female leads, you could do far worse than to join Flo and Lady Hardcastle on their adventures.
A free copy of this book was provided via Goodreads Givaways in exchange for an honest review. A Quiet Life in the Country is currently available for purchase (and, at the time of this writing, free via Kindle Unlimited).

Pay no attention to Amazon's forced "one word" reviews. Read this review instead!
Format: Kindle
When led to this page for my review I found a series of leading questions which I found quite offensive. Don't put words in my mouth Amazon. I'm quite capable of giving my own ideas and views! For instance instead of the above four one word clap trap, I give you my review: "Full of surprises" indeed!
That being said, I absolutely adored "A Quiet Life In The Country". I take full advantage to read for free lots of book through Prime, but most of it is schlock. This is the gold piece found buried deep, and worth the search. It's fun and frothy reading at the level of P. G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer. I echo a hearty Amen! to those who found Flo and Lady Hardcastle the most diverting sleuthing duo to come along in ages. I want much much more! Well researched too, as I learned who in the upper crust sails (as in Ladyship) and an assortment of early 20th century sports figures like W. G. Grace and Jack Hobbs, and after googling pictures of same, got quite a giggle out of Grace being portrayed as Oscar Wilde.
This is actually my second read of this series, and it is even better than I remembered. In the second one you get even more behind the scenes with Lady H and Flo and it is a wild ride. These are first class offerings and I'm actually buying them all and can't wait until the newest comes out next June (2017)!

Well written. Funny...out loud gafawing funny. Fun. Well crafted plot. Wonderful characters.
Format: Kindle
What a lovely surprise!
A well written, well plotted. Funny. Fun. Mystery with two fresh and fine friends...Lady Hardcastle and Flo Armstrong , her erstwhile Lady's maid, Servant, Strong Right Hand Woman and friend...and...Inspector Sunderland, who finds the two so innovative and essential to the investigation of Two Murders and Some serious thefts that he is determined, and says so, that whenever they can he desires them to assist in future!
I so enjoyed this first book in the series I invested in the next four...so far!...in the series.
What fun...the women and now the Detective Inspector, as well, have such comical and engaging exchanges one finds herself (me) laughing so heartily she needs to pause and wipe her eyes repeatedly as she reads the story!
Would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good, well plotted mystery and a giddy, heartfelt laugh...well, series of laughs, at the same time.
Dialogue is often funny...though murder and mayhem are not!...and this is a careful blend of both....just sayin'.
What a wonderful edition to a huge genre of cozy and some not so cozy mystery books.
I recommend this series.

a quiet life???
This is a short story collection like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie have for Holmes and Poirot/Marple.
The characters remind me of the Phryne Fisher books. There are four stories in Book 1
A Quiet Life in the Country
Lady Emily Hartcastle and her maid Miss Florence Armstrong are enjoying some time in the country in the small
town of Littleton Cotterell when they come across a dead body. They find out that it is Frank Pickering, a local man
and it is thought that he committed suicide. But investigating, it seems that he has been murdered. Who
did it and why?
The Circus comes to town
Lady Hartcastle meets an old friend George who is the manager who for a circus that has come to
town. The next day, the juggler Hubert 'Huey' Parving is found dead mawled in a cage and then
others began to die. Who is behind this?
The Case of the Missing Case
Lady Hartcastle and Flo go to the engagement party of young Clarissa Farley-Strouds. The
next day, Nelson Holloway, the trumpet player with that night's entertainment - Roland Richman's
Ragtime Revue. Who killed him? As they investigate, the clues lead them to possible cursed
stolen jewel.
The Half-Death of Gunther Ehrlichmann
Florence recounts her life before and after meeting Lady and Lord Hartcastle as she and
Lady Hartcastle along with Lady Hartcastle's brother hunt down a killer.
Each story is tied into the other, but exciting! Must read!
