Know about the book -

The Origins of Nostalgia(English, Paperback, Boym Svetlana) is written by Boym Svetlana and published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1501389971 (ISBN 10) and 9781501389979 (ISBN 13).

This collection of previously unpublished autobiographical and semi-autobiographical "snippets of experience" written by Svetlana Boym in the final period of her life capture her penchant for seamlessly melding, poetically and dream-like, the intensively personal with the everyday and the world-historical. They illuminate the formative conditions for the thinking which she was to develop into her majestic work on nostalgia. Importantly, these pieces fill in gaps in understanding the genesis and scope of her take on the world. For readers both familiar with her work and for those new to it, The Origins of Nostalgia will enable our own cultural past as well as that of the former Soviet Union to be viewed in a different light.
