Selected letters. 1894-1906: Lord Eleanor

One talented and observant American Eleanor Lord Red (1868-1954) arrived in Vladivostok from the state of Maine with her husband-businessman in June 1894 and lived here until 1930. All these years almost daily, and often several times a day, Ms. Red wrote and sent letters to her correspondents to America, Europe and China. The originals of these letters miraculously preserved among her relatives, and, many years, the granddaughter of Eleanor, Patricia Dunn Silver, who is now living in Florida, gathered and systematized them … After a hundred years, another talented American, a Slavist and a great friend of our city, Birgitta Ingemanson, made a kind of documentary from this unique and unique epistolary heritage. The novel “Letters from Vladivostok”, decomposing excerpts from the letters of Eleanor rust for nine thematic chapters. For the first time issued by the Pacific publishing house “Rubezh” in 2008, “Letters …” over the years have been repeatedly reprinted and became a bestseller.
