At the Crossroads is a bilingual English-Russian parallel text reader by Glenn P. Wood, bringing together culturally rich short stories inspired by Russian history, faith, folklore, antiques, and memory.
Through the voices of historic objects, including a Fedoskino lacquer box, a Russian icon of St. Nicholas, ancient iron arrowheads, an imperial ivory box, and other treasured artifacts, the book explores moments when people, cultures, and nations stand before difficult choices. Each object becomes a witness to survival, exile, belief, violence, beauty, and endurance across centuries of Russian experience.
Rooted in historical imagination and written in a literary style the author describes as animistic realism, these stories invite readers to see artifacts not as silent relics, but as carriers of human memory. From Kievan Rus and the Varangians to Imperial Russia, revolution, diaspora, and the modern world, At the Crossroads reflects on identity, conscience, sacrifice, and the cost of choosing one path over another.
Presented in parallel English and Russian text, this edition is ideal for bilingual readers, students of Russian language and culture, and anyone drawn to literary historical fiction with depth, atmosphere, and meaning.
