Synopsis
Russian "mat" - a remarkably expressive, linguistically fascinating, and utterly hilarious system of obscenity that builds a wide variety of words from a handful of extremely vulgar roots - is never taught in the classroom, but is absolutely essential for anyone looking to master Russian in all of its fullness. Russians widely consider "mat" to be much more obscene than anything in English. Its words were long unprintable, and their use in public performances remains punishable by Russian law. Yet when Russians really want to make their feelings known, many will resort to "mat" - for it alone has the power to express everything from utter despair, to incandescent rage, to bottomless disdain, to uproarious defiance of a fallen world. This beginner's guide introduces the basics of "mat" in an in-depth yet manageable fashion, including detailed descriptions of word-building principles, the literal and figurative meanings of "mat" expressions, and extensive coverage of euphemism - explaining how Russians can use "mat" without really using it! The text presents a manageable list of all the basic "mat" vocabulary - nouns, verbs, adjectives, and phrases - that you'll actually hear, with simple examples of usage. English transliterations are provided alongside the original Russian Cyrillic (marked for stress!), making this book useful both for serious students of Russian and for inquirers who don't even know the alphabet. Along the way, we'll review certain key points of Russian declension, conjugation, and grammar in a refreshingly obscene context. For anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation of the "lower" registers of human experience and expression, "mat" is sure to become one of the real joys of learning the Russian language. Embark on this journey of discovery - with Lenin as your guide! About the Author... Originally from Franklin, Tennessee, Mark Pettus holds a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University. Altogether, he's spent around six years living, studying, and working in Russia. Today he is a lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton. Mark is the author of the Russian Through Propaganda textbook series (Books 1 and 2), and its continuation, Russian Through Poems and Paintings (Books 3 and 4). He has also published a growing library of Russian parallel-language readers - the Reading Russian series.

- r***g (245)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (287)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
