Requirements: .ePUB reader, 10.9 MB
Overview: Joseph Werlin’s 1928 diary pages are full of remarkable cultural, historical, and political observations of France, Germany, and Russia, as well as of the America he left at home. During this time, Werlin referred to himself as a “greenhorn”, acknowledging his innocence as a first-time international traveler and recording his memories with a student’s youthful eagerness. Allowed into Moscow on a rare study visa, his keen eye for observation and documentation provide first hand insight into Russian communism, urban planning, healthcare, religion, and the arts in the early days of Stalinist rule. Together with Werlin’s diary, Joella Werlin has brought together correspondence, news articles, and other contemporary documents to illuminate her father’s life story, revealing the personal impact of the Great Depression, and the twists and turns of acquiring a job in academia. Werlin’s wife, Rose, saved every letter and diary page, giving us a rare insight into European, Russian, and American history in the early years of the 20th century.
