| 內容簡介： |
Reading Russian Fortunes examines the huge popularity and
cultural impact of fortune-telling among urban and literate
Russians from the eighteenth century to the present. Based partly
on a study of the numerous editions of little fortune-telling
books, especially those devoted to dream interpretation, it
documents and analyses the social history of fortune-telling in
terms of class and gender, at the same time considering the
function of both amateur and professional fortune-telling in a
literate modernizing society. Chapters are devoted to professional
fortune-tellers and their clients, and to the publishers of the
books. An analysis of the relationship between urban
fortune-telling and traditional oral culture, where divination
played a very significant role, leads on to a discussion of the
underlying reasons for the persistence of fortune-telling in modern
Russian society.
