Without the Banya We Would Perish: A History of the Russian Bathhouse

byEthan Pollock

In Without the Banya We Would Perish, Ethan Pollock presents a historical account centered on a History of the Russian Bathhouse. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make Without the Banya We Would Perish an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
