Book Synopsis Old Peter's Russian Tales (Classic Reprint) by : Arthur Ransome
Download or read book Old Peter's Russian Tales (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Ransome and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Peter's Russian Tales The stories in this book are those that Russian peasants tell their children and each other. In Russia hardly anybody is too old for fairy stories, and I have even heard soldiers on their way to the war talking of very wise and very beautiful princesses as they drank their tea by the side of the road. I think there must be more fairy stories told in Russia than anywhere else in the world. In this book are a few of those I like best. I have taken my own way with them more or less, writing them mostly from memory. They, or versions like them, are to be found in the coloured chap-books, in Afanasiev's great collection, or in solemn, serious volumes of folklorists writing for the learned. My book is not for the learned, or indeed for grown-up people at all. No peoplewho really like fairy stories ever grow up altogether. This is a book written far away in Russia, for English children who play in deep lanes with wild roses above them in the high hedges, or by the small singing becks that dance down the grey fells at home. Russian fairyland is quite different. Under my windows the wavelets of the Volkhov (which has its part in one of the stories) are beating quietly in the dusk. A gold light burns on a timber raft floating down the river. Beyond the river in the blue midsummer twilight are the broad Russian plain and the distant forest. Some where in that forest of great trees - a forest so big that the forests of England are little woods beside it - is the hut where old Peter sits at night and tells.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Peking to Petersburg The record of this journey through Asia does not claim to be a tale of adventure. Although I have travelled a good deal, I am no explorer. I am the average indoors man, and for that reason the story of my journey may correct some misapprehensions. There are many to be corrected. Thus, when I arranged to travel through the continent of Asia, from Peking to St. Petersburg, and told my friends of what I proposed to do, they said I should leave that kind of thing to explorers. People thought that I was about to enter on a difficult and hazardous undertaking, and no one quite believed me when I predicted that the journey would involve no risk and little hardship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Peter's Island The first idea of this story was formed during the begin ning of 1882, at St Petersburg, and it has been the aim of the authors to keep, in the main, to the original plan of the tale, and attempt to present a picture of life as it might have been in the early years of the reign of Alexander III. This will account for the prominence given to the Terror ist secret societies, which were at that time active and formidable; it will also account for some descriptions of localities and of customs, which represent the past rather than the present. Russia has changed much in twenty years, especially as regards her cosmopolitan capital. Even rubber tyres, which were once the luxuries of the private carriage owner, are now the commonplaces of the hired droschky; and a People's Garden cheers (but not inebri ates) the Russian workman with light refreshment and recreation on Peter's Island.

This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales and Legends From the Land of the Tzar: Collection of Russian Stories IN presenting to the English Public this little volume of Russian stories, I give the result of some years' experience in Russia, where I was born, and where I spent my childhood. Some of these tales were dictated in the original Russian at school, others were related to me by my nurse and other servants of my father's household, while some are translations which I have made from various collections of Russian stories current among the people. Russian humour is peculiar, and it is not always easy to know whether Ivan is laughing at or will: you. In this respect he resembles Pat, whose affected simplicity is in nine cases out of ten a mere cloak for unfathom able shrewdness.

Download or read book The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol written by Nikolai Gogol and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using, or rather mimicking, traditional forms of storytelling Gogol created stories that are complete within themselves and only tangentially connected to a meaning or moral. His work belongs to the school of invention, where each twist and turn of the narrative is a surprise unfettered by obligation to an overarching theme. Selected from Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, Mirgorod, and the Petersburg tales and arranged in order of composition, the thirteen stories in The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogolencompass the breadth of Gogol's literary achievement. From the demon-haunted “St. John's Eve ” to the heartrending humiliations and trials of a titular councilor in “The Overcoat,” Gogol's knack for turning literary conventions on their heads combined with his overt joy in the art of story telling shine through in each of the tales. This translation, by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, is as vigorous and darkly funny as the original Russian. It allows readers to experience anew the unmistakable genius of a writer who paved the way for Dostevsky and Kafka.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Father Sergius: The Forged Coupon, Miscellaneous Stories There happened in St. Petersburg during the forties an event which startled society. A handsome youth, a prince, an officer in the Cuirassiers for whom every one had predicted the rank of aide-de-camp and a brilliant career attached to the person of Emperor Nicholas I., quitted the service. He broke with his beautiful fiancee, a lady-in-waiting, and a favourite of the empress, just a fortnight before the wedding-day, and giving his small estate to his sister, retired to a monastery to become a monk. To those who were ignorant of the hidden motives, this was an extraordinary and unaccountable step; but as regards Prince Stephen Kasatsky himself, it was such a natural move that he could not conceive an alternative. His father, a retired colonel of the Guards, died when the son was twelve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
