About the Book

Series: Russians in the USA, Volume 3 The Book is in the Russian language. It is a book of stories written by Zoia Sproesser (Burkhart, Eliseeva) from 2007 to 2012. Some of the stories were published in online Russian-English magazines. Yet others were never published before. These are favorite author's stories: about dating and other observations about culture and people in the culture: Russians, Americans, as well as other nationalities. Such stories as "A Can of Tuna," "Upset Stomach," "A Nostalgic Cat-Man," and the chapter of Jokes are included in the book. The book can be easily read as a continuation of the first Zoia's book "The Girl from California," and/or the second book of stories, with the same name, or it can be read as a separate story book about life in California. Whatever way it is read, the reader, as always, is up for a pleasant surprise at Zoia's humor, lively jokes, as well as the look on the life in the American culture - its ups and downs, its real people, as seen by an optimistic Zoia. The book is very informative and can be used by Russian language instructors, and students as a great additional language tool of familiarizing with Russian intercultural perceptions, as well as native speaker's idioms, and Russian sense of humor. Zoia is a bilingual professional who lives and works in California. She has a Master's Degree in Education and eight years of Spanish studies, that expands her cultural perception on literature to the three world languages. She has lived in California and been published for 16 years.
About the Author: Zoia Sproesser is a native Russian. She was born in Riga (Latvia) during Soviet Union, but her parents are originally from central Russia. She got a Bachelor's Degree in English and Literature from Latvia State University in 1989, and a Master's Degree in Education (Counseling Option) from California State University in San Bernardino in 2002. After her Master's Degree Zoia studied Spanish for 8 years in colleges, CalState Fullerton and online expanding her professional horizons. Zoia is an author of an autobiographical-immigrant book, the chapters of which were being published for a few years in the magazine "Nataly" in St.Petersburg (Russia), a newspaper in Riga (Latvia), and in Russian newspapers in California (West Hollywood) and Colorado, USA. Zoia's stories are being published in the online Russianwomen.com magazine, and on other sites. On Amazon.com, in 2010, Zoia republished her first book "The Girl from California," and she has published nine more books since then, most of them being dual-language Russian-English classics. For a number of years Zoia was doing evaluation and translation of Russian/Soviet educational transcripts and diplomas, providing professional language services to American Educational Research Corporation (AERC) and other business and legal organizations in the USA. Having a warm and dynamic personality, being an optimist who walks through life with a smile, a highly experienced and devoted language teacher, for many years Zoia has been appreciated by her students of Russian and English languages in Riga (Latvia), and in California, USA. Everybody who is interested in learning Russian language or/and about the richness of the Russian culture can find and contact Zoia through Community Education Department at Mount San Antonio College (Walnut, CA) or personally at zoiariga@yahoo.com.
