Honestly more expensive than money. How merchant children were brought up: Vera Bokova

The book of the Doctor of the Historical Sciences of the Boekok about education in the merchant family covers the period from the pre -Petrine time, when the merchants as an independent estate did not exist yet, until the beginning of the twentieth century, when the merchants have already played a crucial role not only in the social, but also in the cultural sphere. But first of all, this is a book about how Russian trading people who got rich in the reforms of Peter I passed the path from the common distrust to “scholarship” to the realization of the need to obtain education. The author uses extensive factual material, quotes the sources abundantly and gives many interesting details of merchant life: how they lived, how they built relations in the family, what they ate, what they had dressed in, how they had fun … Earlier, Vera Borova’s books “Lomonosov’s publishing house” were the ladder of vileness … ”and“ childhood in the royal house ”.
