Description

"Intended for Low Intermediate and Intermediate-level students of Russian (B1-B2). 'Bronka' is a powerful coming-of-age story about a schoolgirl growing up in a communal apartment in Moscow in the years following World War II, and how she copes with her cramped living quarters, boorish neighbors, and the surrounding dismal realities of 1940s urban life in Moscow. Drawing on her inner strength, Bronka manages to escape the oppressive circumstances of her teenage years, and ultimately finds love and fulfillment. But her unusual path to happiness remains the central mystery of this extraordinary tale. "Bronka" is an excellent literary text for students of Russian language, literature, and culture. The reader provides ample support for the learner, including marginal glosses, historical-cultural, and grammatical commentaries, as well as a range of exercises on word-formation, vocabulary building, and participles."--Provided by publisher.
