The literary world was shocked when in 1889, at the height of his career, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently on the Pacific island of Samoa.

Fasciné par la machine judiciaire comme par les aperçus des replis de l`âme humaine que lui apporte son expérience de juré, l`écrivain André Gide assiste pendant plusieurs semaines à divers procès: affaires de mœurs, infanticide, vols. Dans son texte dense et grave, Gide s`interroge sur la justice et son fonctionnement, mais surtout insiste sur la fragile barrière qui sépare les criminels des honnêtes gens.

Praise for Soviet Impressionism: "Swanson has exhaustively researched Russian history and politics and distilled it into an intellectual but not overbearing or dense textual This is an incredible look at a 20th century school enjoying the stirrings of a renaissance." Antiques Magazine "Book of the Month. This is an amazing work by Swanson that has suceeded admirably in shedding light on a relatively unrecognised, certainly little known, school of painting."

Though it is now considered the 20th century`s major Realist school of painting, during its heyday, thanks to the politics of the Cold War, the treasures of Soviet artists remained...
