Seduction and eroticism were central themes of 18th Century French art. This book draws from the collection of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg to illustrate this theme.

Russian Made Clear is a new book for beginners. It introduces practical language in a strictly logical order. Explanations are clear and concise, based on the principle that grammar should be treated as a means towards accurate and effective communication, not as a theoretical discipline.\nRussian Made Clear has been developed over many years of successful practice with individual and group students at the Russian Language Centre, the UK’s leading centre for adult Russian studies.\nAudio recordings of all texts and dialogues are available to download from the Russian Language Centre’s website, along with a library of supplementary interactive exercises.\nRussian Made Clear takes students comfortably beyond CEFR Level A1 (TRKI Elementary Level). Although written with adults in mind, the book works equally well with older school and university students.\nThroughout the book academic rigour is combined with wit and a sense of humour, and each lesson ends with a chapter from the story of the hapless icon expert Peter Munroe, as he becomes unwittingly caught up in a tale of romance, men in suits and forged artworks.\nRussian Made Clear is practical, enjoyable and easy to use. Most importantly – it works.\nTable of Contents\n15 lessons (chapters), each comprising dialogues, texts, exercises, grammar explanations, and a chapter from an exciting story combining elements of thriller and romance, which runs through the book and continues in later books in the series. 
Complete grammar supplement, English-Russian-English vocabulary, detailed indexes
